Thanks Gene. I probably could have gotten both in focus. But Janny and jason would have been a mile away from me. :) They always have to wait for me when we walk around.:):) How do you tell that it is a female? No dress that I could see.:):)

Erv, if you go to my Monarch Butterfly post http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-84538-1.html , I ID the male in the description on one of the shots. He has two black spots on his rear wing while the female doesn't. Scroll down thru the pics and you'll see the differences in some of the pics.

The band across the hind wing makes it look like a Viceroy Butterfly to me.

I'll do that, Erv, because I sure don't know myself unless they happen to be different colors :-)
