Ever since being assigned this assignment, I've had my eyes peeled for a monarch butterfly. On my way to work last Friday, I was driving out from my neighborhood (Fox Grove @ Evans and TPC), stopped at a stop sign, and there it was, fluttering accross my windshield! I swear I saw it, but I was running late and didn't have time to park, fiddle with my phone, and go running after a butterfly. I thought, where there's one there must be more.
On Sunday I carried a camera with me everywhere I went and even walked through my entire neighborhood, but to no avail. I found every critter imaginable though: A gigantic nasty spider, tons of dragon flies, yellow butterflies, moths, crickets etc.
I Looked Here:
...and here...and here
Then when going into the garage to get some car stuff I found this guy:
I don't believe that this is a monarch and if it is, I feel bad because he was dead. It's a shame he didn't make it to the end of his journey. Poor guy.
