A little butterfly that chose the green to rest. The butterfly thought, very well, that green was the best color to gain contrast.

Oh the magnificent Monarch that migrates thousand of miles to Mexico in winter?!
I saw a documentary about this butterfly on BBC before.

A gorgeous image of this monarch butterfly! I don't see very many of them around here. The color and the pattern on the wings is so beautiful.

I have just finished a novel by Barbara Kingsolver called 'Flight Behaviour' all about Monarch butterflies. What fascinating creatures they are and you capture this one beautifully
