Monarch For Illinois In May - Danaus plexippus - Female
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
May 29, 2007
Data posting for this species in Illinois, for the month of May. This particular specimen just kept paying no mind to me and allowed me to get open-winged shot after shot. I was amazed it didn't fly away with me so close - they usually do around here.
