I found this beautiful monarch butterfly just chilling in a bush.
Open fields and meadows
This photo was taken at about 10 AM on a late summer/early fall day in Rhode Island, USA.

Such a cool picture. Love the detail in its wing.
This particular monarch has gone through all four stages during one life cycle and is in its adult hood.
Great picture. The detailing on the butterfly's wings is incredible.
