A monarch butterfly (*Danaus plexippus*) displays its vivid orange and black wings while perched on an orange flower, likely a Mexican sunflower (*Tithonia rotundifolia*). The flower's petals are broad and vibrant, contrasting against the soft, blurred background. The butterfly's intricate wing pattern is distinct, with white spots lining the edges. Green leaves accompany the flower, adding a natural setting. The butterfly's long proboscis extends into the flower's center, sipping nectar, demonstrating the pollination process in action. |
