Here are my cards for the swap! I didn't realize until after I had already painted it, but the "Monarch" with wings spread is not quite accurate. My reference photo labeled it as a Monarch but it seems it's a Viceroy instead? The pattern is slightly different than a Monarch. Also. Painting the symmetry of the spread wing Viceroy and Tiger Swallowtail (a butterfly that competes with the MOnarch for feeding grounds) kicked my hiney! Good practice in that realm and one I need more in!
Lurking......I've been planting milkweed in more spots in my yard every year. I am also seeing more monarch's in my yard each year.
In Mexico on Day of Dead...Monarchs are considered returning souls due to their migration pattern... they return to Mexico around Day of the Dead. This is why you see Monarchs sometimes depicted in Day of Dead pictures.
