And, it's a beautiful female! Your photos are wonderful, hope she leaves you some eggs.

Lovely photos of a very beautiful little lady.

So few have been sighted this year, it is so nice to see these photos. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful, the porterweed and the monarch!

Thank you all, don't know what caught her fancy she hung out the whole day,,,
To deceive the yellow jackets I knocked off the blooms of the milkweed, and I truly think that helped the cats survival, or the yellow jackets found some other meal...
I hope she laid some eggs...

Gorgeous!

Heavenly monach butterfly!! Wish to see more of them soon;-)
