Crazy Butterflies

After dinner one night, Gray looked out the back door and said, "Mommy, you've gotta see this!  There are 3 butterflies mating!"
"Let me get my camera," I say as I run up the stairs as fast as I can.  Obviously, I don't care about the privacy of these creatures.  I'm just thinking, I've got to get this on film!

Sure enough, there was a male and female mating with another male trying to get in on the action.

Do you know how to tell a male Monarch from a female?  See the black oval dots on the black lines of the two with their wings open?  That means they are boys.
