[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my second posting of the African Monarch. They are plentifull this time of the year. I noticed an interresting thing. There is a dry bush, 300mm high that these butterflies frequent every day for +- the last two weeks. They bunch up on this bush up to 20 at a time. I don't know if it is the same lot every day, but maybe some one out there can explain why. The bush is dry and without any flowers. ( I did some WS removal of a leaf on the top right of the wing.)

Hi Andre nice catch. I always found it interesting capturing the habitat of species while taking photos. Thanks for sharing this info and this nice coloured friend. Reina
