CANON R7
CANON 100-500RF @ 500 mm
F7.1 @ 1/2500
ISO 800 

This image was taken during a morning of hummingbird photography, where often when it is a slow time for them, there are some butterflies to photograph. The plant is a marigold, I believe. 

Province of Ontario, Canada, image- August, 2024.
Thanks to everyone for viewing,

Always so nice to see a monarch, and this one is a beauty. So nicely posed on the marigold. Very bright and cheery.

Lovely Monarch portrait - I’ve never seen one on a marigold before.
