This was one of many types of butterflies my spouse and I saw a few years ago at an enclosed butterfly attraction at the Living Desert Gardens and Zoo in Palm Desert, CA.
They were very graceful fliers.

We spotted the Queen larva on one of our milkweeds and raised it to adult, then released. Otherwise we may have missed seeing this beauty. For Monarch watchers, look for a larva with an additional pair of antennae in the forward half of the body. That will be a Queen.
