Angela, you are like a mama fretting over her babies. The male is perfect. The continuing saga of the Monarchs, is very interesting. I am only in the first learning stage, I am going to start some milkweed seedlings next month when the seeds come out of the refrigerator. The little plants that I have now are definitely attracting butterflies. I see a lot more than I used to. The city hasn't sprayed for mosquitoes for a while, maybe that is part of the reason I am seeing more. Keep sharing your wonderful story Angela.

Very nice shots and a great study of an emerging butterfly. Up here in the northeast, Monarch are becoming increasingly rare due to habitat loss. I have a nice clump of Milkweed (their food) I allow to grow in my back yard and after several years of the patch increasing in size, I've finally seen several Monarch among them this summer. BTW that's a male as evidenced by the two black dots on the hind wings. It's the only butterfly whose sex I can identify due to those dots.
