Danaus plexippus – The Monarch Butterfly

Finally! Finally I was able to capture a Monarch butterfly and add it to my collection 😉

As some of you might know, I love butterflies and I am making a list of the ones I have shot already – I haven’t had time to chase them lately, though – but my greatest frustrations are the swallowtails! I’ll need longer lenses for those…

Finalmente! Finalmente eu consegui fotografar uma borboleta Monarca e adicionar à minha coleção 😉

Alguns de vocês já devem saber que eu amo borboletas e estou fazendo uma lista das que eu já fotografei – embora eu não tenha tido tempo de sair caçando elas – mas minha maior frustração são as rabo-de-andorinha! Eu acho que vou precisar de uma lente maior para capturá-las…

Oh, and there are obviously the Blue Morpho, Atlas moth, Luna moth… those I must capture one day!

Ah, e têm obviamente ainda a borboleta Morfo Azul, a mariposa Atlas e a mariposa Luna… essas eu preciso fotografar um dia!

Have a nice day, everyone! 🙂

    Wonderful dainty beauties. I look forward to seeing the others when you capture them. Btw, have you seen the Sigma 70-300mm zoom macro lens? It’s the best selling of all zoom lenses, so it’s a very nice price.

    PS – I think my envy on this occasion goes without saying…

    Monarchs are one of my favorites. You’ve seen them often in my photostream. Nice shots here. Are there many Monarch butterflies where you live? There are many in Pittsburgh in the summer.

    No, Doug… they aren`t many monarchs where I live, unfortunately :S
