The secret to catching a monarch butterfly is to disguise yourself as a monarch butterfly! That way you can sneak up on them unnoticed.
And the search is on, high and low, tip toeing around so as not to be heard by the unsuspecting critters. 
And this is hard work and just when you get one in your eyesight, it soars through the air out of reach, and you’re just plum out of luck.
The conversation turns serious, with wide eyes, arched brow and a lisp, “Monarchs are the most fabulous, gorgeous, beautifulest, most popular butterfly in the whole wide world!” 
The warm afternoon is spent on this hunt, her darting from one butterfly to the next, and me following close behind, camera in hand, taking great delight in this new adventure.
Discouragement soon sets in, “Oh mammy, it’s no use! Butterflys don’t come anywhere near humans.” 
And so this mammy takes the butterfly net and begins to chase the hugest monarch butterfly ever! 
Finally success! We have in our possession the most fabulous, gorgeous, beautifulest, butterfly in the whole wide world!
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11a
