By the looks of this Monarch I think it had just emerged, and was making use of the warm sand to dry off, and warm up before it's long journey.

I spotted this Monarch when I visited a light house in Sept. while on vacation. In my mind I'm thinking it made the journey safely! :)

Thanks for your comments.

The Monarch has missed the group migration. Good shot of him/her on the sand instead of a flower !

The sand really makes a great texture for the background Tigz.
It takes a lot of "sand" for a butterfly to take such a long journey.
Great shot! Faved.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

It is in beautiful condition Sandi so I'm guessing you assumption is correct - very interesting capture on the sand.

Beautiful capture, don't usually see one in that type of surrounding.

Great shot, Sandi. I usually see butterflies on flowers.

Sandi, if this Monarch had the technical possibilities that people have, it would undoubtedly have sent you a message to confirm that, 😜 !
Original and great photo again!

The guy must need some salt and grit in its diet. Once saw bunch gathered on a dead fish before. Never knew that about them. Always pictured them on flowers.
