Monarch on the honeysuckle

This is a monarch hanging upside down from the honeysuckle my aunt sent me. The hawkmoths are all over the honeysuckle, and I was watching them, and I caught sight of this gem. Fanning. Pause. Fanning. Pause.

And after about a flash or two, it flew away. It seemed small, but maybe they seem small when they're fresh out of a cocoon. I don't know.

I'm just happy to see it.

Hee.
