Beautiful shots of a handsome male. I hope he's finding lots of lovely ladies to hang out with.
Lovely pics, chico!

See the black spots (one on the top of each hindwing)? The fems don't have that.

Hazel - you know everything!! Great pics Chico. I don't think I've seen any Monarch's out in BC since I've been here. Maybe they don't come this far West - Hazel?? I know we had them back East when I was a kid.

There is a small western population that winters on the west coast (California) somewhere. Here's a link about the migration routes...but they aren't very specific about where they overwinter or how far north they end up during summer: http://www.fs.fed.us/monarchbutterfl...on/index.shtml
And I only knew about the patches cuz I went to the local nature reserve's kiddy show at their Butterfly House.
