There were about eight butterflies on the BlueMist. I have taken a picture of what I believe to be a Monarch. Looking in the upper right of photo is what I believe to be a Queen. There were about 2-3 more adult butterflies that could have been Monarchs but not sure. Markings are so similar! I did take more photos but just uploaded the one with the best markings.

Editor's Note: Both butterflies in the bottom image are queens. The top two images are also both queens. The monarch and queen look quite similar when their wings are closed, but are easy to distinguish when their wings are opened as these images show:
