Observation date: May 13, 2025
Submitted by: Dogoszhi
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: On, I believe, red valerian (Valeriana rubra); there's a large patch of that on the north side of UNM's admin building. This afternoon while on campus, I also saw three others moving about. BAMONA doesn't show any sightings from UNM or the surrounding area yet, so I'll submit this one. Sunny, warm, breezy.
Status: Migrant

Coordinator notes: I saw one a couple days ago, but you are correct, very few reports. JourneyNorth is a better place to get recent monarch reports. You should consider reporting there, too. thanks for submitting!
