Monarch butterflies

[mountaindew]

Shot these last week. Might as well show you them. Heard there were thousands of them in group, but missed the chance for the group shot. But they were scattered all over the prairie field.

Made the pictures smaller.

Don't know if everybody knew this, but did you know that you could tell what sex they are by black 2 spots on the end wing, right next to the end of their body? This one is the female.

And this one is the male.

Second one my fave. Love the color!

Marc, those are all some nice shots, but the second one is "Golden"! Beautifully composed and exposed. What lens did you shoot these with?

[mountaindew]

Thanks guys. I used 70-200mm 2.8L USM lens. I tried to take shots of them flying. I can't do it! You'd think they'd be pretty easy to do, but they're not. Not me!

Thanks!

I really like the second one as well Marc! Very nicely done.
