Description/Notes:
At least 55 Painted Lady butterflies in a large strip of zinnias at 47th and York (position on map), plus five to 20 in every no-account little zinnia garden on a SE to NW diagonal from Lake Harriet to the city limit, bringing the total to 100 or more. This is in addition to the 100+ that I saw east of Lake Harriet around noon (I think I've already reported those, but if I didn't I'll add them.) There are a lot of Painted Ladies. They seem to be associating with the monarchs.
