Monarch Butterfly Face

There have been very few monarch butterflies around this year; because, they lay their eggs in July... but, it needs to be dry, and July was nothing but rain....and, they are about to begin their migration to Mexico... so, Magic Wings, the butterfly conservatory here in South Deerfield, MA, decided to release hundreds of them. It was quite an event. Everyone gathered to see them off ! They had the net box full; and, then some more hatched, so they put them in envelopes ! They said, they just fold their wings and quiet down because its dark ! It was so incredible seeing them fly off into the blue sky !!!
