Interesting .... thanks !A reply from Indiana Dunes Monarchs when i reported the sighting: "yes they have been behind. Last year it was 5/15/21 and this year something like 6/23/22 at Dune Ridge Trail"

I prefer to be second or later,even on long hikes. I really do not like morning cobwebs or being breakfast. I usually get a fairly early start though.Yeah, the bugs love me! I must have delicious blood?
Out and about on Saturday afternoon. Black rasberries have been done for a while, but blackberries are everywhere and the rain has done wonders for the fungi.
