Looked like a polyphemus moth to me at first -- thanks to whoever put the
Butterfly
"field guide" link to point out the buckeye -

p.s. The hard one for me is the difference between Viceroys and Monarchs
(sometimes difficult
with humans as well:) )

I don't think it's a butterfly. I think it's a moth, although a very nice
and colorful moth. Good shot.

What kind of Monarch?

2003-10-21 Thread Pentxuser
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.

Not a Monarch.  Would have to look it up though.

Beautiful image BTW, what camera, lens, settings, etc. did you use?
