These butterflies live 11-12 months! They overwinter by tucking themselves into a safe space and hibernate and are the first butterflies we see fluttering around in spring (at least in their Canada range).

This handsome one spent the day drinking water from a bucket in my garden. The bucket has Leca clay balls, which float, to keep insects from drowning. #macrophotography #butterfly #mourningcloak #sorgmantel #åland

I've been spotting monarchs lately, but haven't caught any photos until today!
The first #MonarchButterfly paused up in a tree. I was surprised I could get a clear shot.
The second monarch is injured. I couldn't see that its wing was torn, but I could tell it was hurt by the way it was flapping its wings on the ground, trying and failing to fly. It did eventually take off, but it landed again soon after.
Bonus: a #MourningCloak from farther down the trail.
