How to Tell the Difference Between a Male and Female Monarch Butterfly
For Devera, who wrote in yesterday asking how to tell the difference between a male and female Monarch Butterfly ~
Click photos to view large.
The first photos shows all male Monarch Butterflies necatring at Seaside Goldenrod. Notice the pair of little black pockets, or dots, on the inner vein of the hind wings. These are pockets of pheromones, or what scientists actually refer to as “love dust,” which the male sprinkles on the female during courtship.
The female Monarch Butterfly lacks the the black pockets on her hind wings. Notice too that her wing veination is thicker and smokier.
During courtship, male and female join, and he carries her to higher ground. This photo shows the male and female mating, with the male above.

BREAKING NEWS: Fly Amero’s touring band, Orleans, welcomes co-founder/songwriter/guitarist John Hall for a 40th Anniversary Concert in honor of Larry Hoppen at NORTH SHORE MUSIC THEATRE ON AUGUST 31
You saw it on GMG FIRST. Just like you heard about the sudden, tragic death of Fly’s longtime friend and band-mate Larry Hoppen last week (see post here).
The next day, Fly demonstrated the healing power of music (see that story here) and on August 31, the healing continues as the show goes on (see details here).
All of us who know Fly are celebrating the band’s commitment to music in honor of their friend and brother by inviting John Hall, who wrote the multi-platinum #1 hits Dance With Me and Still the One to join them for this very special 40th anniversary concert (get tickets here). Here’s a video of John making a special appearance with the band last year.
Now I hope you’re reading this on your phone because that means you’ve taken the day off and are out at the Sidewalk Bazaar and planning to visit the Farmers Market and take in some music this evening. See today’s AMAZING live music lineup here.
(There may even be tickets left to see Fly and Allen Estes on The Lannon at 6:30 — and, finally, the weather looks good. Call 978-281-6634 to find out).

Community Photos 8/2/12

Hi Joey,
Fred Bodin suggested sending you a few pictures from the 2012 Annisquam Sea Fair. We came up from the South Shore to spend the day there, and discover this charm of this little village. What a beautiful spot! Could have just spent the day down by the boats and bridge, lol, but the Fair itself was wonderful and the people so welcoming! From the books for sale, the waterdunk, white elephant table to the food–awesome crabmeat roll and onions rings – everything was just perfect small town Americana at its best! Annisquam is so beautiful, and the gardens at every turn are just breathtaking! So happy we made the trek north for this small town fair! Loved it!
Photos are 1. Annisquam Bridge 2, a great old fishing boat 3. a handsome dog I met named Max 4.the Sea Fair main area, 5 and 7 gorgeous flowers for sale and 6.the Annisquam Art gallery with the bustle of crowds in the background.
Spent the rest of the day down on Main Street, visiting some great antique and books stores. Love Gloucester!
Take Care and good luck with all that you are doing for Gloucester!
Gayle White
Hi Joey,
Here’s a few of the fair taken by Kate Conway, another South Bostonian – Fred Bodin told her to send a couple of pictures your way as well. Since Kate is in the middle of a move, she asked me to send them for her. We usually travel around in a pair – picking a new spot/ location each Saturday – spend the day taking photos, eating at one of the restaurants, and walking around the location to get the feel for it. We do a little write up at the end of the day, and that ends up on our facebook pages. We try to send on whatever photos to business owners/ restaurants etc. We will soon be turning into a blog.
The Annisquam Fair was our third trip to Gloucester – something about the place reminds us both of South Boston – the neighborhood feel, the waterfront, the people, the good restaurants, and the pride in community we have come across there. I have to say, you don’t always get that sense when you go into other communities. So, we’ll be back! Use the photos or not as you see fit. Just wanted you to know how much we love the place! Thanks, Gayle White
Spirit of Massachusetts Clearing the Breakwater From Bill O’Connor
Hi Joey,
I was fortunate enough to catch the Spirit of Massachusetts coming into the Harbor last week. I noticed she’s tied up at Maritime Gloucester while she’s here.
Enjoy!

"Friday night at the Gloucester synagogue, the charismatic and nationally known Joshua Nelson, an African-American Jew (his family comes from Senegal, he from New Jersey) is going to lead the Sabbath evening service. Joshua Nelson has created an amazing style, playfully called Kosher Gospel. It sets the feet tapping. the hands clapping, and brings the spirit of the soul to everyone who hears it.
The service begins at 7 p.m. at Temple Ahavat Achim, 86 Middle Street. People of all faiths are welcome to come. There is no charge."
Master Harold Review From Amanda Nash
Hi Joey,
I just wanted to take a moment to say that I went to the Gloucester Stage last night to see "Master Harold…and the boys" last night and it was outstanding, maybe the best thing I’ve seen at Gloucester Stage yet. The acting was exceptional — all three actors were terrific — and it’s a very complex and thought-provoking play. I totally recommend it… although not if you’re looking for something lite!
Sorry I have no photos to accompany this – I could probably get something from Andrew over there if you’d like?

MON, August 13, Richard Rosenfeld : A Democracy or A Republic?
Lost Lessons from The Early American Republic
Richard Rosenfeld will present a lecture based in part on his widely acclaimed book, American Aurora. Awarded "Best History, 1997" by the Los Angeles Times, the book was described by Doris Kearns Goodwin as "a magnificent achievement…The early days of the Republic will be much better understood by the publication of this remarkable book." And the Dallas Morning News called it a "riveting narrative of an epochal political struggle…A tale of high drama that leaves the stately mythology of our Founding Fathers’ wisdom and omniscience shattered."

Local Instant Groupon Deals Lat 43- Minglewood, La Trattoria, Alchemy,Cala’s
The way the Groupon Now Deals work is you buy them and use them the same day. You can even use them on your cell phone while you’re at the joint. Why wouldn’t you, right? Like say you are at the bar at Minglewood and you know you’re gonna eat a burger why wouldn’t you buy one and cut your bill essentially in half??? Duh
The thing about them is they are killer deals but need to be used that day.
Try it now if you are looking from your cell phone and see. Unless you like to pay twice as much as you need to. These restaurants wouldn’t offer these deals if they didn’t want you to use them.
Good Morning Gloucester
