Description
This female Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is feasting on a pink swamp milkweed bloom as it makes a stop in my garden during its southern migration journey. This was the first Monarch I saw for this summer season, so I was very excited! And if you look closely, you can see a tiny egg which she had just laid, which would later hatch into a beautiful caterpillar!
The monarch butterfly or simply monarch (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae) in the family Nymphalidae. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9-10.2 cm (3 1/2 - 4 in). The viceroy butterfly is similar in color and pattern, but is markedly smaller and has an extra black stripe across each hind wing.
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the United States and southern Canada to Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north.
This image was captured in central Ohio, digitally edited with texture to achieve the fine art finish. Perfect to hang on your home or office wall, or to adorn many products available as a thoughtful gift for someone special!
