The band is lacking in the Monarch. They also fly differently. The Viceroy has a more shallow wing-beat than the Monarch.swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-1123447438400030002005-08-07T16:43:00.000-04:002005-08-07T16:43:00.000-04:00How do you tell the top two apart?How do you tell the top two apart?SquirrleyMojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506123885434308454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-1123442297709158342005-08-07T15:18:00.000-04:002005-08-07T15:18:00.000-04:00Love that last pic especially - it looks so like a...Love that last pic especially - it looks so like a face!Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10279728.post-1123391703542823362005-08-07T01:15:00.000-04:002005-08-07T01:15:00.000-04:00Have you ever seen monarchs migrate?

But, according to what I have read, you only have about 13 species to choose from in Michigan. Check out this <A HREF="http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-10370_12145_12201-35089--,00.html" REL="nofollow">link</A> and see if you can find your frog.<BR/><BR/>If you determine an ID, let me know.

I have yet to see his legs, which would be helpful, I know.<BR/><BR/>I thought I would ask you, as you might know off the top of your head.<BR/><BR/>I am in SE Michigan, between the metropoli of Detroit and Lansing... <BR/><BR/>Any ideas would be appreciated!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.com
