One of the many natural wonders of Kansas is the Monarch migration, which takes place in September and October. After I started spotting a few around Lawrence, I noticed there is an actual "Monarch station" garden on West Campus, where grows the butterflies favorite milkweed flowers.

During that time, many other types of butterflies can also be spotted...

trop belle les photos! tu devrais les mettre dans un concours de photo!!
Not as weird : it's a butterfly too ! but from the moth family, this one looks like very much oleander hawk-moth or sphinx. The caterpillar is really weird. You were very lucky... or skilled, to get the "proboscis" in focus in its whole length. Congratulations
Merci Mich!
@François: Bravo pour ton très bon anglais! J'avoue que j'ai du faire plusieurs photos avant d'en avoir une assez nette, il bouge à une vitesse! C'est quand même un insecte plutôt curieux ou au moins inhabituel, je n'en avais jamais vu avant, j'avais un instant pensé à un petit colibri!
