long live the qu...ing

Well, I don't know whether this monarch butterfly spotted on our September nature walk is a male or female, do I?!

All I do know is that it is a truly beautiful butterfly.

Both images: Fujifilm X-H2, Fujinon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 at 400mm
1/500th of a second at f5.6, ISO 125
handheld

If you want to see more lovely butterflies along with some moths and caterpillars, then be sure to drop by next Thursday when I'll link to one of my montage videos looking at my favourite such images from the past year.
