On October 18, 2015 we spotted a Monarch butterfly on the Custis Trail in Arlington, Virginia as shown in the photos. The butterfly was tagged: VGA 484 and associated with Monarchwatch. These are now endangered species so Maureen assisted the butterfly to get off the path and onto a branch for safety.
The Global Society of Wildlife Migration and Seasonal Change track such sightings, and so we registered our observation with them.
When you see such species, check out the website to see if biologists want to know about it.
Help save the species.
