Monarch? - Danaus plexippus - Male
Alameda County, California, USA
July 27, 2009
By the criteria in bugguide, this is a male monarch. Can someone confirm? Data page shows them all year in California but none recorded in this county.

On buddleia, afternoon.

Moved

Yes, and male
The small black spots on the top hindwing near the body ID it as a male.
