Late afternoon walks in February saw an abundance of these striking butterflies. They are quite beautiful to watch, weightless and floating on the breeze.

I found out after painting them that they originate from North America and arrived in Australia in around 1871. Their host plant is the milkweed, a non indigenous, invasive plant.

I loved the milkweed plant as a kid, memories of exploring neighbouring

paddocks and popping the big puffy seed pods to reveal a caterpillar inside if you were lucky. Finding out they are not native has changed my perception of the Monarch butterfly and taken away some of the romance. This is a consequence of getting older in this country and learning more. Not all is as it seems.
