Monarch Butterfly! by rickster549

Monarch Butterfly!

Saw this one flitting around the milkweed plant and it looked like it might be trying to lay eggs. There were several caterpillars on the plant already, so I'll be watching for a few days to see what develops.
I am so envious! Wonderful shot - keep a close watch on those eggs - would love to see you catch a newbie!

Beautifully captured! Like Milanie, I am envious too as we seldom see butterflies here.

Would be nice to follow to caterpillars. I find it such an amazing process. This is a beauty.

@milaniet @ludwigsdiana @koalagardens @swchappell @dutchothotmailcom @dutchothotmailcom @cwbill Thanks everyone for all of your comments, view's and favs. Went back down to the spot this morning and did not see one caterpillar. Not sure if someone picked them off or if the birds came around. I'll probably go back tomorrow and just see if I missed them, or if they are gone. they were just not big enough for the next stage yet.
