Criminal to show this and not mention Homero Gómez González, He was a defender of the monarch butterfly and the territory in Michoacán. He disappeared on January 13, 2020, and 16 days later, he was found dead in a well in Ocampo. Killed for protecting this.
Thank God they are thriving once again! 🙏🦋🦋🦋🫶🥰

BUTTERFLIES OF LIFE **
Butterflies pass through four stages of life
During the last, they are able to fly.
Eggs then larva, change to caterpillars
Transforming to flying rainbows of the sky.
Blue, black, green, yellow, brown, red, white and orange
Armed with a keen since of smell, taste and sight.
With predators like birds, bats, wasps and man
They are never safe even in the night.
Butterflies are the artwork of nature
Chased by collectors with their net and jar.
Labeled and pinned for their storage and display
As new specimens are sought near and far.
The next time you see some kept behind glass
Remember, they once glorified the air.
Their colors and grace generate beauty
As in harmony, their radiance they share.

Plant milkweed and they will come. I love witnessing the miracle of this butterfly.
