Faded Monarch Butterfly on Ironweed
For about three days before these photos were taken, I was seeing several Monarchs that looked much more vivid than this one; however, they would never be still more than a second; and, I never had a camera; and, when I would go fetch a camera and return, they would be nowhere in sight.
After photographing this one, I don't think I have seen another since.

Pearl Crescent Butterfly (Phyciodes tharos)
About penny size, these are the first to be seen in the spring and the last to be seen in the fall.

Monday I noticed a few Monark butterflies at farm. Turned out were a couple dozen by some milk weed and morningglory. I'd planned to mow those weeds but will wait until monarks leave. I can't remember when had that many, know it's been a longtime.

Orange Sulphur Butterfly (Colias eurytheme)
Like so many butterfly species, it is an effort in futility to capture one of these with their wings spread.

Female Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Papilio glaucus
Contrary to most animals, the female of the species is much more impressive than the male; plus, females can be either yellow or black; males are always yellow.

Male Eastern Tailed Blue Butterfly on Eastern Red Cedar
These little dudes are tiny; smaller than a dime. The top side of the males' wings are a bright blue and the females' are a purplish-brown slate color. Like many of the smaller butterflies, it is nigh impossible to capture them with their wings spread; the instant they light, they close their wings together, making them near impossible to spot.
