Danaus plexippus
Orange & black stained-glass pattern on wings edged with white dots. White dots on black body, too.
Feeding on the milkweed plant in my garden.
This is the first monarch butterfly we've seen in our neighborhood this season. We were driving home from karate class, and my daughter saw it fluttering. "Look Mom, a Monarch!" I ran in for my camera and was able to snap one shot before it flew off again.
