Abstract: We call a rational map $f$ graph critical if any critical point either belongs to an invariant finite graph $G$, or has minimal limit set, or is non-recurrent and has limit set disjoint from $G$. We prove that, for any conformal measure, either for almost every point of the Julia set $J(f)$ its limit set coincides with $J(f)$, or for almost every point of $J(f)$ its limit set coincides with the limit set of a critical point of $f$.
