First flight of a Monarch

First flight of a Monarch Butterfly, just freshly freed from it's chrysalis. Monarch caterpillars munch and like to use the vegetation of Milkweed plants to form their chrysalis. In some areas of the United States this species is being affected by changes in weather patterns. Thousands of these beautiful butterflies migrate hundreds of miles every year. On Tingsgrove and the surrounding area, we do not get to enjoy the presence of these lovely creatures very much~
