Oh my, this is fabulous! Of course I have to fav it! This is such a difficult shot to capture! I was chasing butterflies all over my yard today so I'll have some kind of bug/bee/butterfly shot later.

Nice takeoff!!! Great capture. Are you starting to see these come in to "overwinter" or just the occasional Monarch? Noticing more around here but no clustering yet!
