The Queen Butterfly (Danaus gilippus) is a North and South American butterfly in the family Nymphalidae (the brush-foots) with a wingspan of 2.75–3.25" (70–88mm). It is orange or brown with black wing borders and small white forewing spots on its dorsal wing surface, and reddish ventral wing surface fairly similar to the dorsal surface. The ventral hindwings have black veins and small white spots in a black border. The male has a black androconial scent patch on its dorsal hindwings.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

This butterfly is so well colored and is presented so strongly, that it can hold up to all the background color seen here as well...hallmark of a truly well-composed pic.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
Beautiful Butterfly. Perfect focus. You really must only have a short window of oppertunity to get these shots and you consistently pull it off.
Well done to you mate!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
