October Royalty: Monarch Butterfly in Central Park

 This single  monarch was sited dining on Blue Salvia in the English Conservancy Garden.  According to this week's Monarch Butterfly Migration update, "Temperatures across the north have been unusually warm. With an extended growing season, late-season monarchs have had time to complete the life cycle. Monarchs are still being seen, and often in large numbers" 

The sighting was reported to the Annenberg Global Sighting webpage (with a photo...)!
