Monarch butterfly

Danaus plexippus

Description:

During migration Monarchs will use willow trees as a nectar source and an overnight roosting site. There were maybe 100 or more in this small stand of willows.

Habitat:

Spotted in a small stand of willow trees in a low lying drainage area. This was like an oasis - the surrounding area was practically a desert with no trees or much shrubs for what seemed like miles around.
