      Look at this crazy lookin' fecker. Looks like a wasp, actually is a fly. You can tell by the eyes...beady little eyes. It's called the Virginia flower fly.

                            @goosehd Monarch! One of my favorites. I smile when I see them flutterby. I've been thinking of getting one tattooed on me for years now...

                              @Oaktavia do it! They are so awesome. Kids and I are going to put in a milkweed patch and make some monarch habitat in our yard.

                                @goosehd @Oaktavia Got this action shot a few weeks ago while walking the dog. This butterfly circled me several times…enough that I could get out my phone and snap him in flight. No idea why he was interested in us

                                  @SKT I just need to find a spot lol maybe somewhere on my neck...I found that monarchs seem to have an otherworldly majesty to them. They really are remarkable creatures.
