Dunno if this counts as macro, took it with my 70-200 f/2.8L IS. I was zoomed all the way, and this is cropped about 50%. Tell me what you guys think. :-D

As the title suggests, I believe it is a monarch butterfly.

enjoy:

I am Henry. NOT Hank. And certainly not a length of rope tied in a knot. ;)

Not a Monarch, but a Crescent butterfly, genus Phyciodes. That's as far as I'm going to ID it because there are like a million species with subtle differences. And that goes for all butterflies. Skippers are a nightmare. Actually I'm probably only justifying my laziness.

Anyway excellent shot! :D
