Description


The Monarch’s wingspan ranges from 8.9–10.2 cm (3½–4 in.). The upper side of the wings is tawny-orange, the veins and margins are black, and in the margins are two series of small white spots. The fore wings also have a few orange spots near the tip. The underside is similar but the tip of the forewing and hindwing are yellow-brown instead of tawny-orange and the white spots are larger. The male has a black patch of sex-scales on the hindwings, and the black veins on its wing are narrower than the female’s. The male is also slightly larger. (text from Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaus_plexippus)) Another few shots from the Butterfly farm, Stratford-upon-Avon. Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you care to make, I've been busy the last few days so am going round playing catch up. There are no strangers in this world; Just friends that have not met. Anon.

FABULOUS pics, Jeff! Did you watch 'Six degrees of Separation' on BBC2 recently? That was about that quote in a way.
