Above is a photograph of a Monarch Butterfly right after an intense storm The butterfly clung to this stem through the rain and actually late into the night. (I checked.)
The next morning he’d dropped to a lower place on the stem, and then to the ground, slowly flapping his wings dry. (As shown on the video below.) Later, I saw him flying around a field, stopping for long breaks. (The videos I have in the field appear to be the long breaks, so won’t bore you with those.)
His doggedness was amazing.
