Image Details:

A fully developed female Monarch butterfly standing on a flower. Its marvelous colors outshine the white flower. During Monarch butterfly's migration months (August to November), it's much easier to look at these insects and capture images of them. As soon as I saw the bush with the white flowers, a butterfly sat on top of it for around 6 seconds; I got the picture!
