On Friday I posted about monarch butterfly cupcakes, and I just got to see this guy in the flesh:
Update: I’ve uploaded the rest of the photos I took of this butterfly, you can see them here.

Beautiful picture, where did you take this?
I love butterflies. I think they symbolize rebirth and something beautiful comes from something that’s not always so pretty looking:)
Louise — The butterfly was on some cosmos I planted in my parents front yard.
Jan — Not to mention destructive. That something so enchanting could come from the caterpillars that destroy my plants is amazing.
Sooooooo pretty.
Everytime i find a butterfly on the balcony it takes one look at me a bolts away! Camera shy i guess.
