Migrating Monarch butterflies

I captured this image on a patch of blazing star in a Missouri meadow.
This time of year Monarch butterflies are heading south for the winter. Monarch are on the decline but these are the most I have seen in years… encouraging.

My equipment: Canon eos r5 mark ii, 100 to 500mm lens

Settings: 500mm f7.1, 1/3200 shutter, iso 400
