This is one of five male Monarch Butterflies born in my garden on July 18, 2015. On that day we had an unusual summer thunder storm, with an inch of rain, so I could not release this butterfly until the following morning when the weather was nice and sunny. This male flew up and into my bottle bush tree the minute I opened the "castle" door (as did three of the male butterflies) and I took this picture of him sunning his wings.
