Description
The beautiful monarch butterfly atop a brightly colored lantana bloom is rapidly moving its wings to maintain balance while its head and legs are stationary. The combination of movement and stasis produces a dynamic and unusual mood for this much loved natural subject.
The monarch, a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae, may be the most familiar butterfly in North America. It is an important pollinator and requires milkweeds for the subsistence of the larvae.
