Monarch in my garden last yr.

Too busy w/ the garden to take many 📷📷 this summer.

Sometimes 📷📷 feels like trying to chase after nature rather than enjoy it. Another monarch was in the same spot yesterday. No pics. Just enjoyed its company while I dead-headed old blooms 👍👍

Closeup photograph of a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) standing atop an orange Mexican sunflower in my garden last year with out of focus flowers and vague greens and grays in the background. The monarch is facing right in profile leaving only its right side visible and it has its proboscis inserted into one of the flower's orange-yellow florets. Monarch butterflies have orange wings with black and white patterned edges and black veining, black bodies and heads covered with white polka dots and fine black hairs, large black compound eyes, two long, black antennae, and six black, segmented legs.
