Monarch on the Run

wow, such a beauty Bruce l/f/fb

I totally agree with you, Jeff. If something isn't done these beautiful creature will be lost forever.

We also need to get the word out that people (farms) have to chose new pesticides because as the Monarchs cross the US they are being killed off by indescriminate use of pesticides. Thanks for sharing!

Such a beautiful capture, Bruce! Love the look of velvet in the wings. v/f

Beautiful photo, Bruce. I LUV monarchs.....so much so that this year I decided to try 'raising' them in my house to save them from predators that get most of them (caterpillars) outdoors. I currently have 21 chrysalides upstairs,,,all of them ready to emerge from now and for the next 2 weeks. =) I see you captured this one on the mexican sunflower. They seem to luv those flowers. Anyway.....beautiful photo. Happy shooting! ~deb
