Thanks so much, everyone!
The white butterflies (at least in North America) are probably cabbage butterflies.

You are able to raise Monarchs where you live? I can't even get milkweed to grow here, and it's supposed to be a hardy perennial.

That's weird.  A quick google says Monarchs & milkweed are found throughout Utah.  Are you trying from seed, or transplants, or...?

Whoa.  They are gorgeous!

One should probably not be crawling around in wet grass at midnight when one is trying to get rid of a cold, but... ya gotta shoot when the light is right, right...?  I got damp, and fumigated by the mosquito coil, and sniffly again, and by the end, the rising moon was washing out the sky.  I'll have to try again another clear night, but, the bugs & the damp & a fragile model are not conducive to fun shooting.
There is clearly a difference when the power is on, but, let's pretend this is a lovely Pandoran sky and that no one had to photoshop out the light pollution on a few trees...
