I really like this image. It's different than the usual butterfly shot and it has an artistic quality that I like.

Nice image! Looks like a Queen butterfly. Not a Monarch mimic, but it's in the same genus, Danaus .

You are right, appears spots are more at margins in the Viceroy. Haven't seen either before just Monarchs.
