A #monarch butterfly in flight. I've been seeing one or two each time I go for a walk in the neighborhood, but mostly they're flying around too much for me to get a decent photo. This one decided to stick around this one bush for a while.
Someone on Flickr invited this photo to a UFO/paranormal/unexplained phenomena group.
Maybe they meant to invite it to something else they manage?
Or are there butterfly UFO stories out there that I'm missing?
@kelsonv amazing shot!
@alexis Thanks! I don't usually have the patience to wait for a butterfly to stop what it's doing. I need to work on that.
@kelsonv we can recommend shooting wasps (hunting or nectaring, *not* near their nest) as a means of developing patience! they're a lot less touchy in general than their rep would suggest, but we find something about them still encourages deliberation in the approach
@alexis Hmm, I wonder what that might be...
@kelsonv lol, fair! though we did find the fear of getting stung to fade pretty fast, what with how it kept not happening and all
