I put many of the monarchs there to dry their wings so they're out of reach from Ms. Lina...our canine backyard nature terrorist. She seems to prefer Peter Cottontail to the butterflies though. Camera: Nikon D60 with 18-55mm Zoom lens. Butterfly facts: Monarchs are located in the following regions of the world: United States, southern Canada, Carribean islands, Australia, and New Zealand...and ,of course, remote parts of Mexico during their winter migration. |
