Monarch Butterfly On Milkweed - a photo on Flickriver

            Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) On Milkweed in my garden.
Monarchs cannot survive without milkweed. They need it to lay their eggs on and their caterpillars only eat milkweed plants, which is why I always let some milkweed grow in my garden. The monarch butterfly population is in danger because milkweed plants are rapidly disappearing, due to loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. We can help monarchs by growing milkweed in our yards, fields, and gardens.

This photo was Awarded Capture My Vermont, Photo of the Day, for July 20, 2018.
