Monarch Butterfly, Male (Danaus plexippus), Western Region Monarch, photographed at the Butterfly Alive Exhibit at the Santa Barbarba Museum of Natural History
Taken at the Butterfly Alive exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History www.sbnature.org/exhibits/butterflies/. Most of the butterflies in Butterfly Pavilion are native to the state of Florida, with a few exceptions. You can walk through the Pavilion experiencing the butterflies as they land on nearby Florida native flowers and if you stand still they will take rest on you. Taken with Canon 1D Mark III w/300mm f/2.8 L IS + 25mm +12mm extension tubes and 580 EX II Flash manual mode 1/4 power for fill.

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Butterflies’ Elegance (invite only), and we’d love to have this added to the group!
These are three absolutely gorgeous shots of butterflies and flowers in this series. Kevin, you never cease to amaze! Great job.
Perfect - from the "fuzz" on the flower stem, the underpetal color, stamen detail, to the distinctly sharp spots, legs of the butterfly. All pro!
This is really an excellent shot!

Stunning!!!! What a great shot
Beautiful shot Kevin!
Wow, They were really flying about, Kevin. You did not have a lot of time for any of these. Very nicely done. Love the detail and how you made each one "pop". Congratulations.
The beautiful butterfly - the sum of fragility and grace - Three beauties. Well done Kevin.
Fantastic!

A terrific image, but I’m thinking this is a queen butterfly, a monarch mimic.
Gorgeous!
