Nice shots ! We use to have Monarchs here in Oregon but I haven't seen one like this in years, only yellow ones.

Nice shots, but these are not monarch butterflies. They are Gulf Fritillaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_fritillary

Gorgeous butterfly photos, Baud!
I just got back from a Monarch butterfly tagging out this past weekend here in KY, and I noticed that your butterfly looks a bit different.
I'm no butterfly expert, and never will be, but after some research I believe your photo is of a Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, something I never even heard of before, and even cooler than a Monarch!
Check out this screenshot from butterfliesathome.com and see what you think.

I guess we all know the results of assumptions.
Monarch butterfly I think is the only butterfly type I know😁
I have a series shot couple years ago, Same fire pit an type of butterfly.
Spider and butterfly locked in a struggle of life an death. I’ve never shared them, I don’t have the editing skill set to do the images the justice they deserve. But I’m learning every day
