Last Chance

A monarch butterfly feeding on the milkweed nectar before the rain comes later today- last chance for a while (maybe)

Beautiful photo, Heather! How nice that the butterfly spread its wings for you! :-)

[Heather]

@bjywamer Thank you, Barb. Yes, it was flitting around quite a bit and it sure didn't open its wings for long :-)

[Jo Worboys]

They are striking aren't they Heather, we don't get them here! Fav

@365projectorgjoworboys Hi Jo! Yes, I think of them as little stained glass windows! (but big butterflies!) They have been classified as endangered, so it's always a thrill for me when I spot one :-)

A gorgeous capture with its open wings showing off the lovely details and colours of its beauty.

Another lovely one. You may have had to wait a bit to get the first but by now you have a lovely selection of beautiful monarchs. From what I can tell I think this one is a male.

@gardencat Thank you, Joanne. I just googled male vs. female monarchs. And yes, I think you're right: two black spots on the veins of the hind wings. Thank you for leading me to this new info! :-)

Lovely to see one with it's wings wide open. Always good to learn the difference between male and female. Fav.
