Took this photo this am at green island marsh.
there were alot of these monarch looking butterflies but only half
as big, same color, is there 2 different sizes of monarchs or is
this something else?

What Cindy said...I had thought as much, but wasn't sure. I do know that Viceroys have a slightly different marking with a line across the veins of the hind wing.
Yesterday I found a Butterfly bush down by the beach..it was loaded with migration Monarchs..what a sight!
Nice catch, Wally.

Beautiful colors, Wally. I like the strong lines of the grasses.
