Resume - 1:34 - - - - - - - - - - - I noticed that a mass migration of P. sennae was in progress at about noon and returned to the airport.  I decided to use the old field adjacent to the east side of the runway as the field site.
452 P. sennae 1:38 3 m flap straight variable 155° right 268° 1.3 m/s - - - Altitude of butterfly varied between 1 and 3 m.  Some P. sennae were foraging for nectar.
453 P. sennae 1:40 3 m flap straight level 160° right 312° 1 m/s - - - A second P. sennae was flying in same direction.  A sleepy orange (Eurema nicippe ) and an A. vanillae were also seen.
454 P. sennae 1:42 1 m flap straight level 164° right 328° 1.0 m/s - - - Two more P. sennae were seen.
455 P. sennae 1:45 2 m flap straight level 147° right 278° 2.0 m/s - - - Two more P. sennae were seen.  A D. plexippus was foraging.
456 P. sennae 1:49 - flap straight level 163° right 297° 1.3 m/s 25.5°C - - A D. plexippus was foraging.
457 P. sennae 1:54 4 m flap straight variable 151° right 264° 1.8 m/s - - - Altitude of butterfly varied between 3 m and 4 m.  Five more P. sennae were seen.  A D. plexippus was seen gliding down.
458 P. sennae 1:56 4 m flap straight variable 176° right 274° 0.1 m/s - - - Altitude of butterfly varied between 3 m and 4 m.  A D. plexippus was seen foraging.
