A male born

This morning a male (two spots on lower wing) monarch butterfly emerged successfully in our butterfly house.

In southern Florida the monarch butterfly can go through as many as six broods.

The flight of the monarch is unique to its kind as it flaps its wings vigorously before gliding. This male worked its wings doing this exact motion before landing on a tree nearby.

    Beautiful and amazing butterfly

    • SweetButterfly Bliss – Tennessee – My love for butterflies grew exponentially after my daughter was born in 2016, as they gave a new meaning to my family. Our excitement grew as they started visiting our gardens, which then turned into raising some in our butterfly house. Stop on by and subscribe, as I share many photos of the species that have begun to call our gardens home.
