Looked strange. A local expert said it was a rare aberrant specimen, he had never seen one before. Black cell on front tip of forewing stands out, no spots. More black than usual. Had barely seen any butterflies in my new, immature garden I made for Brookdale - and then this showed up!

Ok folks, I uploaded a few pix and it does not have a white face! Also, it was very iridescent and redish-brown. I think you guys are maybe wrong.

I have much experience with monarchs. My husband is also experienced. It was a very fresh monarch, not from us.
