My Backyard

Three images of a Monarch Butterfly in my Zinnia patch.

Top Image: Side View. Note the creases in the wings. I suspect that these creases are reinforcing strips or spines, similar to the straps used to stiffen the edges of sails for sailboats.

Front View.

Top, or "wings open" view.

1/1250s f/2.8 at 300.0mm + 36mm Ext Tube iso320 full exif
