I found a recently deceased monarch in the neighbours yard and before the ants had it for lunch - I took the opportunity to get a closer look.
I believe this was a recent emergent from one of the chrysalises in my other neighbour's yard.
⚖️ Gallery placement disclaimer - while similar to the other images in "The Backyard" gallery - this was not taken in my backyard, nor using the 105 macro lense. 🙃
