Is he getting ready to migrate, perhaps? I have read that butterflies migrate incredible distances. I ask that because it looks like he's been stuffing himself, judging from the pollen on his wings and body. Funny to use a word like "strong" for a butterfly, but that is the word that comes to my mind...his wings do look young and strong. Another very nice catch!
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
He should go good with the chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers Ami. Perfect for the vegetarians that want a little more than veggies. This is one good shot of a Monarch.
I bet the Butterflyettes are all over him.
Great post.
Well Ami, if it had been me, I would not have even got close to it. LOL. They seem to take off just as I get close enough for a shot. Well done, a lovely capture. Lyn.
