For the final day of #Invertefest I’m sharing my monarch butterfly on black-eyed susans and echinacea #linocut. Native plants and pollinators I see in my garden.

A crayon drawing of a Monarch butterfly in my Master's Touch Bristol vellum sketchbook. I used the crayons in the art set I got from my late brother's class. I saw a Monarch butterfly three times last week. I think seeing the Monarch butterfly last week was my late brother watching over me. In addition, a Monarch butterfly also landed on me last week.

And here is a profile of it in flight. Its proboscis is free, so it can feed. It seems one of the antennae is stuck on the thing.

When it took off from that flower, it flew with that tube thing. My best guess is it was part of the chrysalis from which it emerged.

I saw this one day. 1/3

Monarch butterfly on a bloom

Trivia if you didn't know. While monarchs puddle jump up north (fly north a bit, lay eggs, die, the next generation flies a bit north, etc.) taking 5-6 generations to get up to Canada, the generation that flies to Mexico has a different metabolism that allows them to fly directly to Mexico & overwinter. AND, the population that heads south skews male. So if you notice that you see a lot of males, it's not just you.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦋📡 Scientists strapped #solar-powered #radio transmitters onto monarch #butterflies in #California to track their #winter habitat use.
They attached the tiny backpacks with eyelash glue after weighing each insect to confirm it could carry the gear. Chilly pre-dawn temperatures kept the cold-blooded butterflies still enough to handle safely.

The #MonarchButterfly stuck around long enough for me to grab my camera, but was soon off to sample the neighbor's flowers.

Moments I wish I had a camera... This morning, out watering the flower garden, and I came face-to-face to a #MonarchButterfly enjoying some #marigolds in a hanging flowerpot. I hadn't realized that they liked marigolds! Now I know! 🦋 🌻 (PS - I did get some photos of the butterfly a few minutes later... I'll post those soon.)
