Finally ! A Monarch. Where ? In the most unlikely location. Parking lot in front of King Kullen on 25A in Northport. On, a Butterfly Bush or buddelia, which now lives here. If I could have coaxed the Monarch with it, I would have.
Here is some info on Butterfly Bush (not a native, but clearly a favorite for nectar)

Cut it back in November to prevent it from becoming invasive.
