Milkweed & the Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle

A video created for a show and tell presentation to the Morton Arboretum Photographic Society, 13 November 2017, documenting the life cycle of Monarch butterflies and the important role of milkweed (Asclepias spp.)

NOTE: The grouping of Monarch caterpillars of various instars at around the 9' mark in the video was strictly for size comparison. When raising Monarchs, I keep Monarchs of different sizes/ages in separate rearing containers.

Music: Spring, Summer, and Fall concerti from Le Quattro Stagioni d'Antonio Vivaldi ("The Four Seasons")
