...I just saw this guy the other day and was only able to take these pretty bad pictures. He was very fast & never stopped moving, fast little/big bugger! It looks like a "Giant Swallow tail" but he wasn't that big, maybe a young one?

Found this little "yet to be" Monarch :laughing7: on this tiny bush out front.
