After a monarch is released they need to dry, and like a warm surface, this one fluttered to this ladies hand. Sometimes they are very still, and others take flight quickly, I guess it depends on how dry they are when my friend Brenda takes them out of the butterfly house she has on her porch.
The ones that appear early in the season, have the shortest life cycle, I believe there are 3 main life cycles and the ones that you see later in the year, have the longest life span, and are the ones that migrate.
Thank you for commenting, I do appreciate it.

Its amazing to me how these delicate butterflies are able to migrate so far. Beautiful image Sandi.

Another good one of the baby Monarch on its first minutes after birth. Nicely captured Sandi.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It's a beauty Sandi - so often when I see them they are a bit "moth-eaten" with damage to the tips of their wings. this one is perfect!

. . . Earth laughs in flowers! Ralph Waldo Emerson
This one is my favorite in the series although #2 is excellent too. You handled a difficult lighting situation very well. It looks like you friend was holding her hand up to block the light from an atomic bomb blast. I hope that you all survived and are not overly radioactive.

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.
Sandi, Raj has made me smile with his comment, in particular because of the words 'baby Monarch'. But he's right. When one view your image, it's hardly to imagine (because of its size) that this is a 'youngster'.
Perfectly taken macro and a wonderful addition to this series, my friend.
Very well done!

Must be thrilling to see all of this happening. I have not had the privilege of experiencing such a thing.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Excellent photo with a perfect blurry and contrasting background !!
