I've had those damn beetles strip a "3" Pineapple Sage plant over night. Hell I've even had them munch on habanero and jalapeno foliage.
Nice pic

I think it's a Danaus gilippus aka "Queen Butterfly". Pretty common to your area. Their patterns are extremely similar to that of a Monarchs but a side by side will show the clear distinctions. Plus I think Monarchs qet nearly twice as big and Queens are only common in the southwest US and Mexico as opposed to the Monarch which pops everywhere and the majority migrate to Mexico (I think).
That's a great thing 
Gorgeous photo!

To keep on topic of the butterflies, I've had a couple different species frequenting the yard lately. Here's a couple I got some shots of.
A swallowtail on some sea lavender.

And while this newly hatched monarch is not on a plant in this one it's a good picture none the less.

I love it bro i see those swallows in the south all the time. Moreso than monarchs it seems. Always wondered what they were. Thanks for inadvertently offering some clarity on that
