NatureSmart would also like to announce the debut of a new website featuring Stan's popular photography, naturesmartimages.com
Quick, what has six legs, four wings and is an international traveler that doesn't need a passport? Need another hint? What starts out as a tiny spherical egg and goes through more physical changes in its appearance than Michael Jackson. Ok, this is too fun, just one more. What is capable of flying thousands of miles yet weights less than one ounce. I'm sure by now you have figured out I am talking about the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
The nationally syndicated NatureSmart Column

states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,and Pennsylvania. It is a bi-weekly column
