I appreciate everyone who is giving monarchs and other butterflies a helping hand, and I want to support them however I can. One way to do that is by sharing resources I’ve created and photos I’ve taken.
For example, I managed to photograph a monarch laying eggs in our backyard in 2006, and the amazing transformations that occurred from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis and finally to a new adult.
I’ve recently added a web page with butterfly and native plant resources for educators and anyone interested in butterflies. It includes:
- Monarch life cycle
- How to create a Monarch Way Station
- 25 Kentucky native plants – for beginners who want to attract butterflies
In addition to the PDFs, photos on my website may be downloaded for educational purposes. If you need higher resolution images for printing, please contact me.
