Perennial Monarch, Bronx, NY - a photo on Flickriver

A Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) deigned to be cooperative with me as I took this picture in the Irwin Perennial Garden at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx.

I was so excited that the butterfly was cooperative and that the light on it was so perfect, that I forgot to find out exactly what type of flower it is on.

An interesting bit of knowledge for identification is that the hindwing of the Monarch butterfly lacks a stripe across it, unlike the Viceroy butterfly which mimics the Monarch very closely except for that difference. You can learn more about the mimic here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroy_butterfly
