That is one magnificent shot, Boron. I would call it "the monorch shot." WOW. Bows before the master of insect photography.

Monarchs start migrating around mid to late August into the first few weeks of September. I remember sitting in a park one August day, and counted over 200 Monarchs flying south in just over 2 hours. Quite an amazing little creature.

:( For some reason the full view won't come up, just getting the dreaded x. Nice shot, haven't seen many Monarchs around here. Have been checking the milkweeds for caterpillars and nothing.

I thought I would get this and a couple of you have asked. All I did to this image is crop and very slightly darken (with levels). The sky really was bright and blue and this new Canon 2.8 USM 100mm Macro lens is giving me killer colors. Honest, guys, if I did the sky in ps it would be lighter and have clouds.
