The story behind the photograph

A monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) feeds from a native saw-tooth sunflower (Helianthus grosseserratus) at Munson Township Cemetery Prairie Nature Preserve in Cambridge, Illinois. Brilliant orange and black wings stand against a tower of golden blooms and open blue sky, photographed from below in a composition that feels almost like looking up through a wildflower garden into a perfect summer day.

A meaningful gift for a butterfly enthusiast, pollinator advocate, prairie lover, or anyone who has ever paused on a late-summer trail to watch a monarch work its way through a patch of sunflowers.
