A lovely monarch butterfly. As a child I loved watching their migration south. They'd pass by the hundreds.
The natives of Mexico believe these butterflies are the Spirits of the Ancestors, so they honor them. At the same time they are poor so they cut down the protected trees they overwinter in & sale the wood for cash.
