A Surprise Find

I've seen so few Viceroys or Monarchs this year that this Viceroy was a real surprise to find today. Such beautiful butterflies.

This is an equally gorgeous Viceroy..how wonderful the way you have captured it...its colours are very fresh and the light is beautiful.
(viceroys have that line across the hindwings, monarchs do not).

@lynnb Thanks Lynn - I always forget the key to differentiating them.

OOH, such a beauty. I love the lines in your composition setting off the butterfly. Lovely shot.

Beautiful capture. Great composition, love the diagonals of the stalks.

@milaniet One of the few that I can distinguish easily! And I haven't seen either around here this year!
