The girl took a picture of this little friend named King (so named due to his/her monarch status). King lived with us for a few days and then disappeared.
King only had one antenna so he was not able to fly very well...but if the girl held him in the palm of her hand, ran and then let go of him - he would glide for awhile.
The girl mixed up a little bowl of butterfly nectar for King and placed it in the garden with him.
One day the girl went to check on her little friend and found that he was gone...hopefully off migrating with his companions.

What a beautiful picture your daughter took!!! It's nice to see her so interested in even small creatures!
What kind of flowers are those that the Monarch is sitting on ?
Helen.
King is sitting on a soon to be blooming mum plant...
That is so sweet! Very pretty picture.
