EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Geoff Brightling captures the mesmerizing sight of a Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) delicately feeding on a Milkweed plant. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this beautiful creature as it stands gracefully on an orange flower against a pristine white background. The vibrant colors of the butterfly's wings, with shades ranging from red to orange, are magnified in this studio shot, creating a stunning visual contrast. Its delicate feelers can be seen extending towards the milkweed plant, showcasing its precise and calculated behavior during pollination. The Monarch Butterfly is known for its warning coloration, which serves as protection against predators. This image perfectly highlights this adaptation as we witness its striking appearance up close. In this square color image, we see only one animal - the monarch butterfly - allowing us to focus solely on its elegance and gracefulness. As part of the Danainae family and also referred to as milkweed butterflies, these insects play a crucial role in pollinating plants while simultaneously benefiting from their toxic properties. Geoff Brightling's photography skillfully captures both the beauty and significance of these creatures within our ecosystem. This print serves as a reminder of nature's wonders and encourages us to appreciate and protect these fragile beings that contribute so much to our world.
