Tagged Monarch - my 1st

Hurriedly grabbed the camera and shot, was pleased to see it came out before it fluttered away.
No editing done, wanted it to be 'as shot' but did crop and resize for web.
This was so exciting for me.:-)


other sizes: small medium original auto

Interesting. I would of never thought that they could tag a butterfly, and not damage it. Great capture here. V

Anybody else with a nice clear tagged Monarch photo, please let me know if you're willing to let me use it in my book. Please reply to Carol Butler, cabutler1@verizon.net. Thanks.

I've just finished co-authoring a book on butterflies for Rutgers University Press, and I would love to include a clear photo of a tagged Monarch. I would of course give the photographer full credit. Is the photo on this site available? Please reply to Carol Butler, cabutler1@verizon.net. Thanks.

Char...thank you SO much! I'm totally excited about this one.
You should see the original size...I took this today in my
garden. I was totally floored reading the tag & went to their
site to check out the info. Fabulous articles plus tons of
other interesting things. For some reason the exif says Sept 11th?

This is definitely an exceptional shot! Perfect color and depth. Did you add the tag or was this taken in a butterfly house or someplace like that? Wherever you took it it's perfect all the way around.
Nobody can get to their favorites anymore so now everything has to be done a different way. Sorry I haven't looked at your pictures, but sometimes I do and don't have time to say anything. Right now I'm between a rock and a hard place, but decided I'm at least going to comment on this one.
