[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a well-known North American butterfly. Since the 19th century, it is also found in Australia and New Zealand where it is also known as the Wanderer Butterfly. In Europe it is resident in the Canary Islands (except Lanzarote) and Madeira, and is found as a migrant in the Azores, Portugal and Spain. Its wings feature an easily recognisable orange and black pattern. The females have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot in the center of each hindwing from which pheromones are released.

The Monarch is the state insect of Alabama, Idaho, Illinois, and Texas, and the state butterfly of Minnesota and West Virginia. It was nominated in 1989 as the national insect of the United States, and is the national insect of Canada. The Monarch's name and color were also the inspiration for the name and home strip of the Michoacán-based CA Monarcas Morelia professional football team.

Many people like to attract Monarchs by making a butterfly garden, and other people like to raise them for pleasure or for educational purposes.

Chris,
I love the details of the butterfly at work.
What is amazing a double DOF. and the sharp subject sandwiched between the blurred forground and background.
Bright colors and good details with excellent diaogonal POV.
regards,
Shahid

Perfect macro shot!
I only would prefer the green on the background to be not so bright, it distracts a little from the butterfly.

Merhaba Tolga
Çok güzel bir yakın plan renkleri ve alan derinliği
