Description
Some may ask, "a male Queen?". ‘Queen’ is simply the name of this species of butterfly, and there are both male and female Queen butterflies. Queen butterflies are cousins of popular Monarch butterflies. Both use milkweed as host plants. Like Monarchs, male Queens have a black spot on each hindwing. These black dots are pheromone scales. Although Monarch butterflies do not use pheromones during courtship and mating, Queen butterflies do use pheromones. I find some symbolism in this image with the juxtaposition of the fresh new butterfly against the spent, deteriorating zinnias.
As an artist, passionate butterfly gardener, butterfly whisperer, caterpillar wrangler, and student of nature, I enjoy sharing and teaching about my passion through my photography. Thank you for joining me here on this flight into print on demand. More of my artwork can be found on nancydenmark.com.
