The Heir Apparent to the Monarch

Here is the little guy. He sure is growing fast. I lost sight of them for a time but I can find them easily now.
The Heir Apparent is well on his way


This generation of the Monarch will only live for a total of about 3 to 4 months. The next generation will live to be more than 8 months and travel to Mexico and back.

Here is the seed pod of the Next Generation of the Milk Weed. Next year's home for this Monarch Butter-fly's Grandkids. It is rather neat how Nature just ticks along in harmony with it self.
