Though it will kill much else, monarchs seem to enjoy even the poisonous varieties of milkweed.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

It's the poisonous milkweed that acts as a defense to keep the predators from eating them - they give off a bitter taste - Great shot!!!!!!!!!

Excellent macro, Jeff. I suppose by the well chosen vantage point that it's a BTC (on the Belly Taken Capture, ☺ ).
Very good work again!

Actually, I was standing. The grass and the milkweed are quite tall.
