There were more butterflies in the Desert Botanical Gardens butterfly pavilion besides all the malachites I posted yesterday. There were quite a few white peacock butterflies playing among the greenery.
I only saw this one great southern white butterfly.
I did see only this one monarch butterfly in there too. That was a bit of a surprise because we usually don't see any monarchs in the pavilion until the fall series.
Gorgeous photos Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThey are such lovely creatures, Sharon. Is the Monarchs wing a bit torn at the top edge?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a great southern white is the same as our so-called cabbage white? It looks very similar.
ReplyDeleteThere is a butterfly guide in the pavilion and it lists both the southern white and the cabbage white separately. They do look a lot alike.
DeleteVery pretty, I like the monarch the best, have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeletegreat colors
