Wide Open Wings - a photo on Flickriver

Wide Open Wings

            The Monarch is a large, widely recognized, migratory butterfly and has a wingspan of 3⅜″ to 4¼″.  The male is slightly larger than the female and have a small black spot on the top surface of their hindwings.  Females do not.  Males also have slightly thinner wing veins, while those of the female are thicker blurred.  This particular one is a female.  You can also see part of a bumble bee that is under her wing on the right side.

Thank you so much for your visits, faves and comments!  Very much appreciated.
