Butterflies, Zebras, Moonbeams

Product Information

I wonder if the intervening butterflies in the photo above were trying to stop the assault, or trying to knock the male off to mate with the female themselves. Monarchs often leave their milkweed plants when not eating, seeking shelter away from those paper wasps that are always raiding the plants. The catalogue features genre-defying solo releases and adventurous collaborations, spanning ambient soundscapes to progressive to electronic to art pop and beyond.

Lack of Genetic Differentiation among Widely Spaced Subpopulations of a Butterfly with Home Range Behaviour". Their bold pattern of black and white stripes, long tails, and the bright red spots near the base of their hind wings never fail to delight me when I spy one flitting through the summer air. I am working on a photo collection of the pollinators of the NC Botanical Garden and am trying to get out once a day for at least a few minutes to document the amazing abundance of species visiting our wildflowers. After two or three hours of mating, the female comes out, and copulation continues for another hour.A couple of weeks ago, I saw a site that gave me a little jolt: A monarch butterfly caught by a spider. On Friday, we explored the habitat gardens and, as happens on most walks, one of the campers hollered, “Mister Mike, come look at this”.

Like they did in September of last year, they mated, and mated some more, and the resulting caterpillars ate our milkweed plants down to their stems. I have them occasionally at home (we have several pawpaw trees on our property) and have seen them frequently this summer at work. The summer generation is larger, bolder in color and has longer tails than the early spring one and this beauty looked fresh. Here’s the thing: If I see a dead monarch in my yard, it’s because I have habitat for monarchs in my yard.
