"Monarch Butterfly And Marigold Flower In Sepia".

The monarch will always return to areas rich in milkweed to lay their eggs upon the plant. The milkweed they feed on as a caterpillar is actually a poisonous toxin and is stored in their bodies. This is what makes the monarch butterfly taste so terrible to predators.

• A black spot on an inside surface of its hind wing distinguishes the male Monarch butterflies from the females that have no such spot

• The monarch butterfly does not have lungs; breathing takes place through tiny vents in the thorax or abdomen called spiracles, and an organized arrangement of tubes called trachea, distribute the oxygen through the Monarch’s body system

• They have a 10 cm wingspan and weigh between 0.25 to 0.75 grams

• The wings flap slower than other butterflies at about 300 to 720 times a minute

• Senses of smell and vision help the Monarch butterflies to assess its environment

Kay Novy (kkphoto1) Have always been interested in art in one form or another. Started out as a hairdresser, then oil and water color painter. Have taken many art classes, but it was a series of photography classes that I knew I was hooked! Love it. I have had my photos published in the local newspaper and for a local calendar, recently had a photo published in "Birds And Blooms" magazine. My art would be perfect for the home or office. Along with my FAA site you are visiting, you can also find me on Redbubble, Zazzle, Pinterest, Google+ and Twitter. Just google kay novy or kkphoto1 All photographs are copyrighted and owned by the artist Kay Novy (kkphoto1). Any exploration...
