A mating pair… on October 8th. Seems mighty late.
Same day, near by: a Carolina Mantis eating an adult male. (Stagmomanantis carolina, unlike most of the mantids found here, is a native species.)
The live ones, however, outnumbered the dead 8-to-1 out there at Averne East.
Last Monarch sighting: October 13th (no picture).
