Butterfly Milkweed

Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 11 June 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This is one of the Monarch caterpillar's favorite foods. I once raised six butterflies on the leaves of this wildflower in a shoe box when I was a boy... and when they ended metamorphosis, they were absolutely beautiful!

I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!
