Monarch; Danaus plexippus

  1. I adore them so much. Sadly, this year at the prairie, we only have one monarch. Last year we had two. And the year before three. I love seeing the remaining one flit about. They are life themselves. Lovely photo. Thank you for sharing.

    1. Thank you, uptonking.

      This is just the second I've seen in almost fourteen years here. It's a rare sight with their numbers dwindling.

    1. Thank you, Maddie.

      I was looking for a Great Spangled Fritillary (which I haven't seen this year) on the burdock and happened upon this visitor. It was a real treat.
