Monarch butterfly

Monarch butterfly
Danaus plexippus. Probably migrating to Mexico, but it was alone when I saw it perching in an oak tree near my house.

Es ist wirklich bewundernswert, welch große Strecken Monarchfalter zurücklegen und fliegen können.

Danke schön, Ingrid. Ihre Migration nach Mexiko ist ein großes Wunder, aber ich sehe sie selten in Mississippi.

Apparently, the Monarch population has gone down 90% over the last couple of decades. Here's a wonderful organization dedicated to helping them.
