Monarch Butterfly
Sighting Date:
September 30, 2006 Laura Mattei and the rest of the paddlers on this weekend's fall foliage paddle on the Sudbury River reported seeing many migrating Monarch butterflies along the river in Wayland. Craig Smith took this photograph of a group of Monarch butterlies in Maine recently (click on image for a larger view).
