I like the colours combination of the BF and of the flowers.

The color matching/coordination is very striking, Bill.  An excellent look at this Monarch and it's surroundings.

Beautiful shot and great detail! I think he passed through Arkansas on his way to Texas! They love those Lantanas, don't they. I am planning on planting a lot of it in 2018 to see who I can lure in!

Classic MBF on Lantana shot. A female, I believe. I've noticed the late Monarchs have faded from a bright orange to a dusty almost brown in the upper wings. Good detail and DOF on both the BF and the flowers.
