Very nice shot jan. Me I would have cropped them in just a little tighter.


Thanks for the nice comment and also the advice.

I recropped the pic and I do think it looks better with a tighter crop -- it is all about the butterflies. Thanks again...Jan

Thanks for commenting on my butterfly photo, JJWright.

Cropping means to cut out (remove) part of the picture using an editing program like photoshop. It has an adjustable tool called the cropping tool. It allows the user to select the portion of the photo he/she wants to save and then deletes the unselected area. I chopped off a large amount from the perimeter of the orininal picture which made the butterflies the main focus. Hope this answers your question. I am not always good at explaining things...

Thanks again for looking at my picture and I am happy you liked it...Jan

That's a great photo. I work in an elementary school and the children have been collecting caterpillars and watching them become butterflies. The teacher has tagged them and set them free to migrate to Mexico. The hope is that someone will find them and contact our school with the news that they reached their detination.


Hi Kathiehum, Thank you for the nice reply. Great project for kids. I often provide teacher who live in our neighborhood with eggs or caterpillars. I will keep my eyes open for one of the tagged butterflies from your area. Would be so exciting to find one of them...

I like your avatar pic.Jan

Those are really nice Jan. It is usually pretty hard to get two with their wings spread at the same time.


Thank you Tom, I lucked out on this one. They were practicing fluttering their newly acquired wings. Got these shots before they took flight. They stayed on that bush quite a while before they flew away. Thanks again...Jan

Excellent Jan! How do you know which is male or female? Do you turn them over to look? :D


Hi Shaka,

Thanks for looking and the nice reply. The male monarch has 2 glands on its hindwings. They show up as dark spots. The spots can be seen when the butterfly has its wings closed also but are very obvious when its wings are open. The female doesn't have these spots and the banding on her wings is heavier than that on the males wings.

Thanks again for looking...Jan

This is a photo of 2 monarch butterflies I raised from the egg stage. They emerged from the chrysalis stage within about 30 minutes of each other. I kept them in a screened in area until they were ready to be released. Each one took notice of the other and they seemed to be attracted to each other. The butterfly in the lower left area of the photo is female and the other butterfly, a male. Within about 5 hours they were ready to take flight and that they did. Fortunately, Wednesday was a wonderful day to be a butterfly...
