Orangey Encounter--Monarch Butterfly

During a neighborhood walk, we spotted a flitting butterfly. I know better than to try capturing a still image of a moving object. I recorded it, played with the video, and uploaded a ~1 minute video to YouTube. I decided to create a longer video to accompany this article, which also includes a half-speed clip so that the wing movement is easier to follow. Read the entire article and comment there, please.

Leggy Bugs—Caterpillars (Lepidopteran Larvae, which Become Butterflies and Moths)

One nice image I found was helpful with identifiers. View a nicely captured example of movement at "Close-up Caterpillar Footage". Read the entire article and comment there, please.
