A tiny #golden wing in the late afternoon sunlight

#MonarchButterfly #Danausplexippus #BlueSkyArtShow ##phonephotography #Samsung #GalaxyS26Ultra
A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) at rest with its wings closed on bright green Abelia bush leaves. Its black body with its characteristic white spots is at the top of the image. Its antennae cast lacy shadows on the leaves. Slanted afternoon sun illuminates a sliver of the golden underside of its right wing. A sliver of the orange upperside of its left wing is also visible.

Two Monarchs, Danaus plexippus, flying around at the Montrose Bird Sanctuary. I thought hummingbirds and swift were hard to shoot but the Monarchs were all over the place.

A Monarch butterfly about to emerge from its chrysalis

#MonarchMonday #Monarchs #MacroMonday #Macro #MinimalMonday #Butterflies #Lepidoptera #DanausPlexippus #Photography
The chrysalis of a monarch butterfly just before it starts to emote; the black and orange colors of the butterfly are visible through the thin outer covering of the chrysalis. The chrysalis hangs from a reddish brown twig that is suspended and tied between two other sticks.
