🌻GOOD MORNING 🌻 🌻SUNFLOWERS!🌻 Say HI to Frank!🐛😊 So I woke up one morning and Frank had dropped his silk button on the plastic window of the enclosure. Not sure if he could drop another silk button if I moved him I decided to let him go into chrysalis and move him after he had plenty of time to dry.9 I moved him and hung him where he had plenty of room to eclose, Then last night I noticed that his chrysalis had a bit of an indent from forming on the plastic, along with this dark mark. I would L🌸VE it if the more experienced Butterfly Mamas🦋would weigh in and share their thoughts as to what that mark is??? Have you ever had an indented chrysalis?? 🦋Thank you Butterfly Mamas!!🦋 💜I am all about the share!! 💜 WISHING EVERYONE A FABULOUS TUESDAY!!☀️🌈 💜🦋🌻💜🦋🌻💜🦋🌻💜🦋🌻💜 #insects #flowers #milkweedformonarchs #butterflywings #butterfly #butterflys #naturephotography #savethemonarchs #butterflygarden #monarchbutterflies #naturelovers #nature #macro #milkweed #photooftheday #butterflyphotography #butterflylove #monarch #beautiful #monarchcaterpillar #butterflies #monarchbutterfly #butterflylover #butterfliesofinstagram #naturelife #plantmilkweed #butterflygirl #magicgarden #pollinatorgarden (at Southbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfWaiWiOzh2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Use This Monarch Migration Map to Track the Epic Journey

There's more to the journey of monarch butterflies than you may know. Study this monarch migration map to see the route the butterflies take.

You might not notice, but a new life cycle is beginning in the garden. A monarch butterfly just laid an egg on a milkweed plant. This location was chosen for a reason: Milkweed leaves are the only food that monarch caterpillars eat. Here’s what a monarch egg looks like. 

The caterpillars have a big job to complete. Unlike other caterpillars that make a chrysalis, transform into butterflies and then die within weeks, monarchs are part of a yearly “super generation.” The monarch migration map (above) explains how these butterflies complete their annual journey...

Hi. Monarch butterflies are very much endangered, and I DO NOT ADVOCATE CATCHING AND KILLING THESE BEAUTIFUL BEASTIES. The butterflies on my face were collected along our busy country road, and they've been attached just by getting them slightly wet. I collect them for art, but ALSO to repair the wings of injured butterflies. I've found that a small amount of glue goes a long way in re-attaching a new wing. Anywho, I hope you enjoy the aesthetic.

Happy Saturday everyone! Here’s a video from our yard. I enjoyed my morning cup of coffee in the company of butterflies and caterpillars, aka baby butterflies. Trying to enjoy this pretty weather while it lasts.
