Story
This Monarch butterfly is on some of the last remaining tall grass prairie in world.
The Living Prairie Museum is 12 hectares (30 acres) of remnant tall grass prairie, a highly endangered ecosystem that is home to a great diversity of living things. Like many other butterflies, monarchs call the museum home. Monarch caterpillars rely on native milkweed as a host plant, while adults feed on the nectar from a wide variety of wildflowers, including the meadow blazingstar pictured here.
