Macro Monday - Monarch Butterfly

The Monarch is probably one of the most widespread and recognized butterflies in North America. They migrate between Canada and Mexico. Interestingly this is the first one I have seen this year. They will appear regularly for awhile as they migrate through on their way south.

We have had Monarchs in years past, but I haven't seen any this year.
