There are two photos of a pair of Monarch butterflies while they were starting to mate and just before they flew off together into the tops of nearby trees.
There were at least 4 mated-pairs of Queen butterflies.
I did not re-locate the Southern Dogface that was photographed here on 28 and 29 December.
