I was lucky enough to observe a female Monarch Butterfly laying a few eggs on my swamp milkweed in my backyard last year. Here’s one of the eggs. In 2019, I helped raise Monarch eggs and Monarch Caterpillars into becoming Monarch Butterflies. I found them on my backyard milkweed, and in a few other local fields. That year I released over 100 Butterflies right off my fingers. I’ve observed and documented the entire process over the last few years thru my macro lens. It has truly been one of the most amazing things I’ve every witnessed. I fall in love with them.
