and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.”

Is It A Queen Or Monarch Butterfly? May Guess, Queen. — Image by kenne
Similar, to monarchs, queens (Danaus gilippus thersippus) migrate in and out of the desert southwest.
Unlike monarchs, queens can be abundantly common in the desert southwest of central to SE Arizona west to California.

Haphazardly flies around
Lands on a button.

Viceroy Butterfly on Paper, Grunge Art — Image by kenne
There is no end, but addition: the trailing
Consequence of further days and hours,
While emotion takes to itself the emotionless
Years of living among the breakage
Of what was believed in as the most reliable –
And therefore the fittest for renunciation.
— from The Dry Salvages by T.S. Eloit

I went for a walk in Sabino Canyon early this morning to check out the Sabino creek flow over the dam. Above the dam near the creek I found a lot of buttonbush in bloom, with a lot of insects swarming over the flowers. One of the many insects was this beautiful viceroy butterfly.
With all the insect interest, I can see why another common name is “honey-bells.” They may be honey to insects, but this plant contains the poison CEPHALATHIN. Cephalathin will induce vomiting, paralysis, and convulsions if ingested.

The creek is now dry
Still the flowers and red fruit
Shadow the creekside.
