The Monarch Butterfly 2
These Butterflies are capable of flying 2,000 miles from Canada to Mexico and back again to the southern United States. Millions migrate every autumn, often stopping in the same rest spots each year. Some even fly as far as Hawaii and eastern Australia, with many generations a year. This one was photographed in Port Stanley, ON Canada These butterflies are also called King Billy (here in Canada) because its orange and black colours are those of King William of Orange.

Although they were a dime a dozen in the midst of migration, each and every one of them had their own personality. I’m sure of it. ;-)Thank you for your kind comments Vanessa.
