Description

The Monarch Butterfly, biologically known as Danaus Plexppus, is a milkweed butterfly. To attract the Monarch to my garden, I planted a tropical milkweed plant this year. Mid summer I was delighted to see this beautiful Monarch caterpillar enjoying lunch on a leaf of the milkweed plant! I considered this my gift from God as I had three days to thoroughly enjoy watching and photographing this and two other caterpillars in my garden. They consumed most of the plant, then must have moved on. I think I'll add a couple more plants next year in hopes of attracting more! Image captured in central Ohio, USA.
