Hey Kim lovely spotting! Since you have updated identity can you also remove from Monarch Migration? Thanks for your help!

Kim - These are actually Queen butterflies, which are closely related to Monarchs. They can be difficult to tell apart, especially with their wings closed. See this for more info: http://myfloridabackyard.blogspot.com/2009/09/those-who-love-and-those-who-labor.html
