A couple of Monarchs. We don't see many of them around here.

Beautiful shots, Lester. The color is gorgeous in the first shot.

This is the first Monarch Butterfly we raised from a caterpillar. We planted Swamp Milkweed near our pond this year and caterpillars showed up. Lets hope this female makes the migration. It was very rewarding to see it grow into a butterfly.

Get in close by being slow in your movements and expect a lot of missed moments/

It is amazing how much damage these fellows can suffer and still fly around!

Wow, beautiful butterfly!!! Do you know what it's name is? Where did you find it? I love how the tips of the wing come to a point as well as loving the color patterns, simple yet elegant.

I have NO IDEA what kind of butterfly it is. It was at the Key West butterfly conservatory.

I don't know much about butterflies, but a bit of Googling suggests that it might be a female Leopard Lacewing.
