A vertical image of a monarch butterfly hovering over a flower with with lots of little pink blossoms. The image is in very soft focus, but we can see the body movement of the butterfly. Its back end is bent upwards, above its hind wings, while its front wings are bent downwards while its back wings are parallel to the ground. Its proboscis is sticking out in front of its head, curving downwards, as if in anticipation of nectar on the flower below it.

I wasn't fast enough with my focus but I love its motion. The wings and bodies of butterflies are not flat when flapping.
