Plain Tiger Butter Fly

Danaus chrysippus

Description:

Orange with black on the tips and characteristic black spots on the under wing. An accent of white splotches on the wings and on the rims.

Habitat:

Open woodlands, among plentiful flowers.

Notes:

This butterfly was on a bamboo shoot. The wind was moving it around like a weather vane. I may have two Plain Tigers in my spottings. Oops.
