Sighting for October 9, 2019

Lauritzen Garden
Douglas County, NE

Not ideal conditions for butterflying with 100% cloud cover, 15 mph winds, and sprinkles and finally rain. I was surprised in 1 hour how many butterflies I was able to see. The next couple of days are supposed to have freezing temperatures Thursday and Friday night.
