I was out weeding round my lavender plants today when this beautiful Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) fluttered past my face. She (yes it was a female) must have not long emerged as she was bright and shiny and perfect. Her wing span was at least 3 inches. My phone was closest so I used it for the photos. I was afraid she would disappear if I went inside for a camera but now I wish I had because she fluttered around happily for quite some time.
