Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy...
Perhaps to be a lowly caterpillar is not so bad when imagining the life that has been promised, the life that is yet to come, bursting forth into a beauty that soars beyond the bounds of the earth...
A Monarch Butterfly getting some nectar in the morning light on a cool September morning in Reno, Nevada
In their larval stage monarch caterpillars feed almost exclusively on milkweed and as adults get their nutrients from the nectar of flowers. The monarch will always return to areas rich in milkweed to lay their eggs upon the plant. This is what makes the monarch butterfly taste so terrible to predators. Their markings include bright orange wings covered with black veins and rimmed with a black border and white dots.
The most amazing thing about monarch butterflies is the enormous migration that North American monarchs undertake each year. Every fall, as cold weather approaches, millions of these delicate insects leave their home range in Canada and the United States and begin flying south. They continue until they reach Southern California or central Mexico, more than 2,000 miles.
