Monarch Butterfly

Danaus plexippus

Description:

This is a male. In the second picture, you might be able to make out the black dots on his lower wings. The thinner black webbing within the wings is also a indication in comparison to a female's webbing that is thicker. She would have no identifying wing spot.

Notes:

First spotting for me this year.
