Name: Catmint/Robin PNW WA half hour south of Olym (Zone 8a)
Just saw 3 Monarchs fluttering through my yard. One was fluttering on the ground with part of his wing bitten off (dang mantis)--saved by that nasty milkweed taste, I'm sure. I helped him onto the aster, where he stayed a while and nectared, and then flew off.
