Looks very much like the Monarch, but notice the dark band across the wings, that is how you can tell. I even had to update my last 2 Monarch posts to explain that they were Viceroy Butterflies. They hang out around marsh areas.
I will take your word for it Eggz. I wouldn't know a Viceroy from a Count from a Duke from a Governor. It sure is a great looking butterfly. Excellent post.
you finally got to photo an area you have been wanting to do for at least a year. i think you had trouble last year because of the extreme heat. well, you are doing it big this year.
