Pairing Monarch Butterflies
A pair of Monarch butterflies "getting busy" on some sea oats making the next generation of monarchs that will continue their multi-generational migration to or from Mexico to the Northern United States and Canada. These were found and photographed on Pensacola Beach on the Florida Panhandle, which is very likely their last stop on dry land before they fly southwest over the Gulf of Mexico over hundreds of miles of open water.
