The first butterflies to watch for in the spring are mourning cloaks, eastern commas and Milbert's tortoiseshells. The adults of these species hide in leaf litter during the winter, emerging to look for mates in spring when the temperature is warm enough. So while I am tempted to move the leaves around, I have to leave them for a bit yet.
Our picture today is a Monarch butterfly. What about the monarch migration? We are too early for Monarchs to be coming through in March. There is a facebook page called monarchs migrating through Ontario - it is about all things Monarch in Ontario and tracks where they are.
