There's an Asian butterfly that looks very much like a Monarch.

Thanks, Subash.
Monarchs are much different from Tiger Swallowtails, if that is what you
have there. They migrate to Mexico on the East Coast of North America and
to Central California on the West Coast, spend the winter there, and then
fly North, spawning several generations before their descendants make the
winter trip South again.

My monarchs have emerged from their chrysalises. Most of it happened
while
I was at work, but I did get to enjoy the first moments of their lives as
butterflies.
As I was releasing them from their cage, one settled on my hand. It was
quite difficult to get a shot, since the camera was on the tripod, with
the
100 mm Macro, it was difficult to get it into position for an image of
the
event. This is the best I could manage:
