A Monarch!

Not my best butterfly it flittered - t was hot- not m long lens - did I mention it was hot. But my first butterfly of 2018 and a monarch.

Monarchs are supposed to migrate through our area, but I haven't seen one in a very, very long time. Congratulations on your capture. I think it is great. I don't see the flitter.

Beautiful capture! I've seen them flittering around in other places but have had none visit the potted plants this summer. So far, it's been one Swallowtail and that's it.
