This morning for Camera Critters I have chosen one of my favorites. It's the end of September, and about now, or in early October each year, the monarch butterflies start their migration to Mexico. Depending on the weather, here in Cape May County, we are treated to masses of these butterflies preparing for their flight across the Delaware Bay. Here are a couple of pictures from a previous year.
One of their favorites is the goldenrod. The more goldenrod, the more butterflies.
There is another photo over on my sidebar.
You can find many more critters of all kinds at Misty Dawn's site, here.
Thank you, Misty, for hosting Camera Critters each week.

ReplyDeleteThe monarchs are still her in central Ontario...but not for much longer, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteBobbie: I'm so jealous, I have plenty of Goldenrod but a lacking of a wave of butterflies. What a great capture.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a picture of goldenrod I remember how it makes my poor mother sneeze. She's terribly allergic to it. :-)
Beautiful butterflies! I have been chasing a lot of those last summer!
ReplyDeleteFor the Love of Pets

ReplyDeleteBeloved and beautiful creatures!
I love all the butterflies in the last picture. I had a pretty orange one flitting around my lantana bushes and was able to get a couple of pictures for my critters today.
ReplyDeletewow! fabulous and beautiful butterflies! I love it..

ReplyDeleteI rarely see Monarch butterflies where I live. I guess they don't like the desert climate 8v) Nice photos. Thanks
