A wonderful summer photo. Enjoy

Edit : A friend actually told me this is a Viceroy. An imitator of the monarch. Cool huh.

Yes this is a excellent shot though I do feel I should mention that this is a Viceroy which is a mimic of the Monarch which means the title makes sense...which means perhaps I shouldn't of said anything at all

This is so cool. I'm glad you told me about the viceroy. I was looking at a photo of the two different butterflies and it's very hard to tell the difference. Is the viceroy skinny in the body vs the monarch or is there another easy way to tell?
