Description
Photographic artwork by Cindy Treger. Photograph taken near Lake Meade, East Berlin, PA. These three beautiful monarchs (Danaus plexippus) are stunning as they feed together on the flower of a purple butterfly bush. They are all perfect in their coloring and form.
I wrote "The Birth of a Monarch" a childrens' book using my own photographs capturing the amazing process of a Monarch, Danaus plexippus, emerging from its chrysalis, and becoming a full-grown butterfly. The book takes you through the monarch's life cycle and migration journey. It also encourages readers to plant milkweed, the only host plant of the monarch. Children, as well as adults, will find the monarch story fascinating! It is available thru Amazon.
