Last week the swallowtails were on duty pollinating the flowers in our gardens. This week it’s the monarchs. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second.
They make a really cute couple, but who’s going to be the one to tell the Zinnia that the Monarch is still pollinating like eight of his exes. I give this relationship like, 15 to 20 seconds. A minute tops.

Great shot Sean.
Very beautiful, Sean. Monarch butterflies are my favorite. This image is another endorsement of Nikon’s 500mm PF lens.
