Monarchs Do Visit!

I was finally able to get a picture of a monarch in our yard! They let you walk right up to them and don't really care. He hung out in the flowers for a little while after I took these. He's a beauty! You can tell it's a male by the two black dots on his wings (see second picture). The black dots are on the bottom portion of his wings. Also, the lines on his wings are thin which also is indicative of males.
