Beautiful orange Monarch butterfly flew into my patio! Isn't it beautiful?  |
|
 Yesterday a big huge beautiful orange Monarch butterfly flew into my patio. I noticed that the poor thing had a torn wing but it appeared to still be able to fly perfectly fine. I let it stay inside my patio last night so it could rest inside the screened in area and help to heal itself free from worry of predators attacking.
This morning I opened my screen door and let it fly free on its way. It was so beautiful in person, these pictures do not do it justice.
Every day I am amazed at all of the beautiful nature and wildlife that surround me here in South Florida.
Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I have been watching all the different birds though in our back yard. We had hummingbird feeders up already and my son bought a bird feeder then made one also so we have many types of birds around here each day, plus the sound of them is so nice to hear. They are so happy that it is spring.:)

2.  owlwings (5116) | 8 months ago |  Monarchs are a beautiful and amazing butterfly. Every year they migrate (south in the fall, north in the spring) thousands of miles. How such a fragile thing survives (well, many of them don't, of course) is one of the wonders of Nature.
The other strange thing is that we (as a different species entirely) see them as beautiful and intricate and worthy of care and wonder. The world we live in has many mysteries.

| flame2000 (85) | 7 months ago |  I just planted a small woodland garden this spring and hope to attract butterflies.Monarch are poisonous because they feed on milkweed in the larval sage.I'm guessing that most birds won't eat 'em.

| owlwings (5116) | 7 months ago | It often happens that the most brightly coloured and patterned things are poisonous. I don't know what plant you call milkweed but I suspect that it is a member of the Euphorbia family (which a dear friend always used to proudly show off as his 'collection of Euphorias'), most of which have a milky juice and are poisonous. Strange that they are not poisonous to Monarch caterpillars!
The butterflies themselves, I believe, are eaten by many birds and other animals which is why they have evolved to migrate in such vast numbers. I believe that, in the migration season, whole areas can turn bright orange-brown with the number of Monarchs arriving to rest. | |

| onlydia (1609) | 7 months ago |  I really dislike squirrel's as they got into my attic and made a heck of a mess. Don't mind then as long as they stay out of my garden and house.

| 7. mtdewgurl74 (10309) | 7 months ago |  I have been thinking of starting a flower garden that attracts butterflies but have been having second thoughts on it because I love butterflies but then so does my cat and the neighbors cats and I wouldn't want to bring them to their doom.
