I'm OBSESSED with the Monarch Caterpillars
Omg, I’m obsessed with the Monarch Caterpillars . . . I end up observing them all day, jotting down notes and taking photographs . . . today I dropped some Milkweed flowers into a cage and they went nuts and devoued them all. Also, I found the caterpillar that hatched from the EGG I saw being laid right on an actual Milkweed Flower Bud about 2 weeks ago.
As of today, I have about 12 eggs, 15 cats and one chrysalis ready to eclose in about 3 days. So far this year, I’ve release 9 butterflies and released about 15 least year, and I only started last year in August. :) I tend to get emotionally attached to the cats . . .and then curiosity takes over . . . Here’s 2 cats that hatched together on a Milkweed Plant that I had planted in a container. They are playful and follow each other around and have little spat fights. - MY FIRST MONARCH fine art photographic print is available in my ETSY SHOP here: MONARCH #7 More Art coming SOON!
NEW Monarch Art for sale!
Here’s my first MONARCH Caterpillar photograph that is for sale. It symbolizes the long, magical journey of the Monarch Butterfly. Here’s Caterpillar #7/2019 on a milkweed plant in my backyard. I observed it for about 8 days and took many, many photographs. I always play with the focus and composition as I like to be surprised when I look thru the view finder. The photograph without any words or type is for sale in my Etsy Shop - Jean Lannen Art. Click Here: MONARCH #7
In an effort to raise attention and help the monarchs to survive, I’m hoping my photographs spark curiosity and encourage people to get involved and plant milkweed. Stay Curious, Be Kind, Look up, Look down, Look over there!
2019 Monarchs, oh my!
On May 27th, 2019 - I watched the first 2019 female Monarch fly around my gardens and lay eggs on my various milkweed plants. I was thrilled, as I only started to observe them and raise the caterpillars last year in July. So, about 32 days after I saw the eggs being laid, I released a male, #1.
I’ve been documenting and taking photographs over this process and now, I’m slowly releasing the photo’s and information. Photo’s will be available for sale soon!
