there were just a few...................


if you look closely at the right wing the majority of the tip is gone and the left is pretty tattered also-makes me wonder why? birds? very very few butterflys this year- i hope they are not going the way of our honey bee's and bats too important and beautiful to loose them...

Beautiful monarch! The last shot I got this year, the tips were torn off too? I wonder why this does happen! I know they only live for a couple of weeks, which is so sad!!!

Hi Tammy.....
Is this really a monarch..... I question the markings? At any It is so beautiful. The Monarchs have quite a treck when they migrate... They congregate at Pelee here in Ontario and it is something I would love to see. Everything is covered with them , but you wouldn't know it until at the magic hour they all take flight and everything comes alive.... Awesome...... Hopefully one day I can experience this for myself...
