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.. G. |
