Not sure that this is a monarch, but it's certainly a great shot of a butterfly! Love the warm yellows that peek through the background, and the hints of red on the wings too.

nice capture but could use some better light to get more contrast.

nice macro, but there are other macro bugs in this challenge that I think fit the theme a bit more than this one.

I don't think that is a monarch, but it is a good shot.

Beautiful picture though it doesn't look like the monarchs we have around here and it is too bad the antenna tip isn't in focus.
