Christina Evans (cgstudios) > MONARCH BUTTERFLY/PAINTBRUSH Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) nectaring on Florida Paintbrush (Carphephorus corymbosus) A series of images combined on 12 layers. Most everyone is familiar with the beautiful Monarch Butterfly. Not so familiar are these wonderful native flowers, which are a butterfly photographer's dream come true. This butterfly worked the same flower head for literally hours (often in the company of a large bumble bee). It remained close to this position long enough for me to take ten images that were very similar.
Christina Evans (cgstudios) > Bidens alba, aka Spanish needle or Beggar-ticks with Monarch Butterfly and a fly (tachinid?) Spanish needle is an annoying, common weed to most gardener's here. It likes full sun (or not!) gets 2-3 feet tall (or more) and blooms much of the year. Butterflies and other nectaring insects adore it, which is why after years of trying to control it in my yard, I now allow it to grow in some of the wilder places in my backyard (where the neighbors can't see it!). It is a host plant for the Dainty Sulphur butterfly. This one was photographed at Largo Nature Park.
