I consider myself lucky if I get a few decent pics a year of Monarchs passing through here. I never considered raising my own subjects. Do you train them to sit still for you too? Ha.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them.

Beautiful pictures What kind of camera do you have?

Wow...these are very nice, thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much, I try to take photos of them in the early morning when it is too cool for them to fly away, it works most of the time.
The camera I use for my butterfly shots is the first digital camera I ever bought, an Olympus 3000. I do love it but need to get a faster one now. I keep looking to find a newer version that would take just as good of macros as my older Olympus. I think I am wearing this one out. I know I am of the memory cards, smart media, they don't sell them in stores anymore, I have to buy them on Ebay.
