Re: What kind of Monarch?
I don't think it's a butterfly. I think it's a moth, although a very nice and colorful moth. Good shot. p;aul Thomas Haller wrote: > Hey does anyone know what kind of Monarch butterfly this is?

What kind of Monarch?
It is certainly not a monarch. It is a member of the Satyrs group of butterflies. Probably the one called Little Wood. It prefers open woods and meadows and occurs east of the rockies.
