What's! On! My! Camera! (And! Mary's! Car!)

Concept totally filched from hsifyppah (glad you're feeling better, hon!): Here's a picture-of-opportunity I caught with my new Olympus X-775 (which, I found out from the company, is actually just the European name for what is normally sold in this country as the FE-210; wonder what BrandsMart USA was doing with a bunch of those?). A passing monarch butterfly (at least, I think it's a monarch) decided to take a rest on the roof of my Songbird's old teal Honda as it sat in front of my apartment.

Just as I snapped the pic and started to move around for a second shot, he flew away. Guess he's camera-shy.

First, a question. How did you get that two-headed hsifyppah?

Second. That's no monarch, that's a space station a species I can't identify because my ex got custody of the butterfly ID book.

Cool picture, though.

The extra head is probably due to my beta of Firefox 3 messing with my HTML.

Nice picture.

If it's not a monarch, it's most likely a viceroy -- which got its name because it looks so much like a monarch.

I can't look at either species without picturing him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monarch).
