True Royalty

Price range: $75.00 through $199.00

The Monarch butterfly was likely named in honor of King William III of England, whose secondary title, Prince of Orange, perfectly matches this specimen’s regal attire. While famous for their arduous 3,000-mile (4600 km) migrations between Canada and Mexico, some monarchs choose a more sedentary, tropical existence. This individual, found dining on purple porterweed, seems to have opted for the ‘pura vida’ of Costa Rica.

Unlike human monarchs, the butterfly does not put itself above others, demanding only a viable habitat to secure its future.
