It's been Monarch Mania around here lately! The most activity I have ever seen in the yard. Of course they're flocking to the meadow blazing stars (Liatris ligulistylis). #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #SaveTheMonarch

Good, large walk-in enclosure easily traversed in the time we had. #FNQ #Kuranda #butterfly #farfalle
