I was surprised to find this fall Monarch Butterfly feeding on a desert plant (rabbit brush) in Goblin Valley in the San Rafael Desert of Utah.
Chrysothamnus, known as rabbitbrush, rabbitbush, and chamisa, are shrubs in the sunflower family. The native distribution is in the arid western United States, Canada, and northern Mexico. It is known for its bright white or yellow flowers in late summer.

I have seen some monarchs migrating through Texas this past week. Love the rich yellow and orange colors you managed to pull out of this image.
