_sophiajohnson_: Phenomenal capture. I love how she has some hearts on her wings.
sundogmom: @_sophiajohnson_ I raised her inside. ❤
_sophiajohnson_: That's spectacular! How did you do that?
sundogmom: This is a Queen butterfly. Just like Monarch butterflies, they like milkweed. So I grow milkweed in my garden. When it got big enough, I brought it inside and kept it in a mesh cage. I supplied it with fresh milkweed and after a week or so it spun into a chrysalis. After another couple weeks, it emerged. On the day it emerged, I released it do it could mate and make more. It's a hobby of mine. I have Monarch right now inside and I've raised several varieties by growing the right plants and herbs and also growing nectar flowers.
