Artist's notes:
 Butterflies
are a pleasure to draw. I love the symmetry of their wings
and the bright, vibrant colors. One of the great treats
of drawing an animal like this is beginning to understand
their anatomy. Butterfly wings are one of the greatest wonders
in the insect world. They are very light but also strong
and durable considering their construction. This monarch's
wings are 'perfect' but in studying the butterfly I noticed
that generally all butterfly's wings have at least minor
damage to the outer parts of the wings. But that's the great
thing about illustration - you can make nature perfect.

Information about the Monarch Butterfly:
Monarch Butterflies are found wherever milkweed and related
plants are found. The milkweed provides the Monarch with
an intriguing form of protection, since the milkweed juices
assimilated by the Monarch make it poisonous to predatory
birds. The beautiful orange color of the Monarch butterfly
serves to teach predators that their intended meal might
be toxic. The states of Idaho, Texas, Minnesota and Illinois
have selected the Monarch as it's official insect.
The Monarch can also be found in New Zealand and
Australia.
