Monarch butterfly ( Danaus plexippus)

Reveler Conservation Area

It was a real pleasure to watch this butterfly come swooping across the conservation area. So scarce this year; this is only the fourth one I have seen in all my wanderings around suitable habitat. I forgot to say, that this one is on asters.
