I am SHOCKED!!!!

Well, I just looked out the window and saw an orange butterfly out in the raised bed. Of course, I ran out with camera in hand, and I found this Monarch. I only got off one shot before it flew away. Looks like an ELF to me. How about y'all? I don't see any scent glands, but sometimes they are hard to notice in closed wing shots. It was on Butterfly Weed. I checked for eggs, but those leafs are so narrow and numerous that it's hard to find the eggs there. Woo-hoo!! This is a good sign. I never never never have Monarchs at this time of year. :o)
