Butterfly sightings for November 2022

Walked from parking lot to the slough and a little beyond.

I saw a Monarch feeding at my marigolds today. Thought it was weird since it's so late in the season.

Seen in the afternoon, 71 degrees.

A protected area of New England Asters is still in bloom, showing little sign of fading. It reached 71° and numerous butterflies were seen taking advantage of it.

Sunny, breezy, 70 degree afternoon.

A dark form Eastern Comma was a new visitor today. It was great to see a Monarch, too. Some butterflies are looking pretty beat up.

I spotted two butterfly species while collecting seeds this morning on the prairies north of Kampen Road.

Warm November day, 70, windy.

63 degrees and sunny, this strange warm November continues to surprise. (A new late date! MCR)

Beautiful day. 75 and sunny.

Wow! I got back late in the day around 4:10. The day light was running low. Got to the park around 4:20. I didn’t think I would see anything until a brown thing flew out of the bushes. I thought it would be a moth. It turned out to be a after hours Buckeye! This is my latest Buckeye by about 2.5 weeks and probably going to be the last of the year judging by the upcoming 20 degree weather.

Sunny, no wind, 55 F around 2:00.

This Eastern Comma is not the same one that I spotted three days ago. It was definitely trying to find sunny spots out of the wind.

Sunny, around 50 F, some wind around 1:30

Sunny, no wind with a 43 F temperature around 2:30.
