Monarch

Absent the black line across the hindwing and with a double row of white dots in the black marginal band, this can only be a Monarch (Danaus plexippus). Slightly obscured at the bottom, but on a 3-frame-day, I didn't have a lot of options. Gearing up for Grace's wedding in 6 days!!

Confirmed at BAMONA as “Danaus plexippus” or “Monarch”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/1106366
