Southern Monarch

No problem, bayucca! It was only a simple comment, you did an official suggestion. The important is that now, this beauty has the correct name.

Sorry, Daniela, you were first, but too shy for a suggestion ;-)... I did not make a refresh of the site, so I did not see your comment.

ah, danaus erippus, thank you bayucca for the ID help
