I found this monarch butterfly clinging to the underside of a purple coneflower in a meadow very early morning.  It was obvious, this is where it spent the night.  It was still in sleep-mode when I photographed it.  I was able to nudge it without it flying off.  I eventually coaxed it  to the top of the flower and posted a photo of that earlier ( see it here: Monarch of the Meadow)

For a little different feel, I added a bit of texture to this one.
