Some faded Monarchs in our pasture ...

northwest DeWitt County, 60 mi ESE of San Antonio, TX,

5 mi NE of Westhoff, April 6, 2011

The last two were the same ... very faded male ...

most of scales gone ... very transparent ... "5" ...

Our university guest out in the middle of a patch of

Ascepias asperula milkweed ... one for the pocket,

looking for the next!
