One of the last monarchs before it begins its two-month migration to Mexico. Nature is amazing!
@beryl Beryl, you commented a while back on our still blooming buddleja. Yes, this particular one anyhow is still going strong, but it does have a lot of dead blooms appearing now.
Such a beautiful capture and composition. Perfect focus and dof makes the butterfly almost 3D . Amazing to still have such fresh looking buddleia in October. I have pruned back two of mine in the UK , The third bush will soon be pruned back too as it has stopped flowering! So at the moment I enjoy seeing your buddleia - big fav
@busylady Thank you, Judith. That talk would have been really interesting! I only recently learned that it takes monarch butterflies two months (!) to reach Mexico.
