First Monarch - Finally!

And he came right where he was most welcome - have several milkweed plants in the back yard, but this is the first taker I've spotted - and then ever so briefly.

What a beauty! We have a Certified Monarch Waystation, but we've only seen one Monarch caterpillar this year. Hopefully, their numbers will recover someday. Great observation and capture, Milanie!
