A male monarch butterfly darts into the face of Naturalist Annette Wittrock Sunday at Pioneer Ridge Nature Area just fractions of a second after she placed it on the hand of Trevor Summers, 3, of Ottumwa. Before placing the monarch on his hand, Wittrock tagged the butterfly with a small sticker as part of the University of Kansas' program to study monarch migratory patterns. - Doug Sundin
