Walking along the Glendale Riverwalk in the mid afternoon, I passed a Pepper Tree visited by two similar-looking butterflies. Nearly identical in hue, I initially thought them to both be Monarchs, and in fact, one was an extensively damaged Monarch. The other, however, was marked differently, and turned out to be a butterfly that I had read about, but not personally viewed... the Queen. My initial confusion was heightened by their courting-like, circling flight pattern before separating and both landing in the canopy of the Pepper Tree where I was able to photograph them.
