Patti has challenged us to focus on telling a story with our images.

My story is the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly. I haven’t been able to capture Monarch’s in my garden this year so these images are all from my archives.

*Female Monarchs lay their eggs on Milkweed*

*Caterpillars emerge from the hatched eggs and eat the leaves of a milkweed plant. Milkweed is all they eat.*

*The Monarch Caterpillar crawls to a place to form a chrysalis.*

*The caterpillar changes into a butterfly while inside the chrysalis.*

*A new adult Monarch emerges from the chrysalis*

Many thanks to Patti for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #255 – Telling a Story
