Just wondering.....question.....

When I think of "migration" I usually think of a large number of "X" migrating
in a group. Assuming your 6 Monarchs stick together--it would be a mini-group.

If a single Monarch ecloses and nectars up and then takes off--will it fly to Mexico
by itself? OR--will there be another generation, started by this lone monarch, that will
reach Mexico?

Thinking back--when I posted about the bunch of 5 Monarchs all at my NE Aster
"nectaring up"--I now understand that they all could have eclosed somewhere nearby
and were prepping for the long flight.

Not sure I posted it here--or on the other Monarch thread....This was in September..
