Description
This Queen butterfly landed on the yellow daisy at the Desert Botanical Garden Butterfly Exhibit in Phoenix, Arizona. The Queen resembles a Monarch butterfly when it is resting with its' wings folded. However, as soon as they flutter and open their wings fully, you are able to see a huge difference. The Queen has a beautiful fox-brown color with lighter veining on the wings and white dots speckling the forewings and inside the black margins. Queens are very common at the Botanical Garden and they can be seen all around the wildflower gardens.

Marilyn, Fantastic capture of this Queen Butterfly. The details of the wings are remarkable and the way you have captured the colors are fascinating. Great capture of the flower that the Queen Butterfly is sitting on. The photo is so clear and the clarity is fantastic. Also great texture in the background and a very interesting and enjoyable write up in your description box. Excellent photo, fav, voted, google and tweet promoted and selected as my Pay It Forward in the Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery group
