His wings are beginning to look a little ragged - think this Monarch has had a hard life - still beautiful though.

Lovely capture.
I've seen butterflies flying around with huge chunks of wing missing and wondered how they are still able to fly.

From what I can see here, I would ID this as a male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Milanie. I have seen a lot of ragged butterflies around here the past few years too. Nice light in this capture.

I know you're right Allison - don't know why I typed Monarch - thanks for the correction.
