Description
"Monarch And Goldenrod" by Debbie Oppermann. This beautiful Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus, was nectaring on the yellow wildflower Goldenrod in Killbear Provincial Park Ontario Canada. The Monarch, with its bright orange and black coloring has been in decline recently because of environmental factors both here, Ontario, and in Mexico where they migrate for the winter. We need to plant Milkweed in our gardens which is their favorite plant as urban sprawl is taking away the wild Milkweed found in fields and meadows.
