Insects and Spiders

Luminescence

The city planted lantana on a traffic island near my home & I noticed it was attracting a lot of monarchs during their fall migration. Grabbed my camera and got some nice photos. I noticed the sunbeams made a nice background when I put the focus on a single butterfly.
