Top: At WING's annual meeting in March, Rhonda Brady talked about monarch butterflies. Most monarchs live in the eastern 3/4 of U.S. In each fall millions head to Mexico where they overwinter. Back in the U.S. the next year, Monarch caterpillars feed on milkweeds, turn into chrysalises, emerge as the next generation of butterflies and fly north. After 3 or 4 generations they migrate back south to Mexico. Bottom: Wiener Roast at BTH on Sept 8, last year. Very hot weather was past and cold weather hadn't come yet. |
