9/10/07 - Monarch (& Thistle)

A two-PAD day.
Earlier today I posted a monarch caterpillar image taken this morning (click *next* for the earlier PAD). Later, 45 miles north on Skyline Drive (at Dicky Ridge) there were a few monarch butterflies.
Here's the caterpillar/butterfly side by side - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/85397814
(Thanks to my cousin for the info that showed that a monarch can get from the caterpillar to butterfly stage in about 2-3 weeks).

Nikon D70
1/200s f/6.3 at 270.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
