THANK YOU!!! I just knew someone would write back and say, "Oh, that's the blah, blah, orange speckled monarch wannabee" or something like that.

I STILL can't believe it! He was quite a distance away, and I just knew when I zoomed in to see him in the pic he'd be gulf frit (not that I don't love them, too) or something. (Oh, and BTW I just sat there snapping pics as long as he stayed in the area - so, I also have LOTS of bad pics.lol)

For years I've viewed other people's pics of Monarchs and wondered why, despite the fact that my yard is alive with the flutter of butterfly wings almost year round, I have never seen one.

Is he just passing through (migrating) or is it possible that he "lives" here? (hint: correct answer is anything that might lead him back next year preferably with his lady friends)

I have a lot of these shots. (LOL)
