Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)(m) 24-8-2015 ! The first this year here !

First lone male sighted here this year and has been here all day feeding on False Sunflowers. He has a very bad tear in his right wing but seems otherwise in good condition . This is an early sighting compared to the past 3 years.
