Monarch Butterflies - Danaus plexippus

Image of Monarch Butterfly

Description:

These butterflies were captured at the near end of the caterpillar stage from the High Tech High Native Plant Garden. In all stages you can find monarchs on or around milkweed. These butterflies had just hatched so they were in the processes of drying their wings so they could fly. This observation is apart of the High Tech High Insects of San Diego Field Guide.
