Known as one of the most-familiar butterfly species in North America, the Monarch has been on the decline so much over the past two decades that it may become an endangered species.

I took this photo of Fancy to slip in a birthday card for the vet who did Fancy's surgery last summer. I thought it was hilarious because she seems so insanely serious even though she's wearing the silly hat and holding the birthday horn blower thingy. She was SO good to hold that stupid horn so long while I messed with ISO settings! I still don't think I have the whole ISO thing quite figured out but this was taken indoors with absolutely no light source in the room except two windows on a very cloudy day. No flash and hardly any post editing.
