A monarch butterfly in flight

A #monarch butterfly in flight. I’ve been seeing one or two each time I go for a walk in the neighborhood, but mostly they’re flying around too much for me to get a decent photo. This one decided to stick around this one bush for a while.

About a week later…

Someone on Flickr invited this photo to a UFO/paranormal/unexplained phenomena group. 😕

Maybe they meant to invite it to something else they manage?

Or are there butterfly UFO stories out there that I’m missing?

Monarch

Saw this lone monarch flying around above the sidewalk next to a busy street. Took my phone out on the off chance I might be able catch it in frame and maybe be able to tell it was orange in the picture. Had no idea I’d actually be able to see the pattern on the wings once I’d zoomed in on it!

Amazingly I did manage to get one sharp #photo of it before it flew off again. Which was fortunate, because I saw at least a dozen of these tiny #butterflies zipping around the bushes, but none of them slowed down long enough for me to catch them clearly.
