EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a Cabbage White butterfly (Pieris rapae) gracefully alights on the vibrant petals of a Frikart's Aster (Aster frikartii) in Marion County, Illinois. The delicate beauty of the butterfly, with its intricate wings adorned with black veins and white patches, contrasts stunningly against the rich, velvety hue of the aster's bloom. The lush, green foliage in the background adds depth and texture to the scene, creating a serene and idyllic tableau. Frikart's Aster, also known as the New England Aster, is a beloved perennial plant native to North America. It typically blooms in late summer and early fall, producing clusters of small, pinkish-purple flowers that attract a variety of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The Cabbage White butterfly, on the other hand, is a common sight in gardens and fields throughout the United States and Europe. Known for its distinctive white wings, this butterfly is a member of the family Pieridae and is often seen feeding on the nectar of various flowers. This exquisite photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Danita Delimont, highlights the beauty and interconnectedness of nature. The Cabbage White butterfly's visit to the Frikart's Aster is a testament to the important role that these plants play in providing habitat and sustenance for pollinators, which in turn help to ensure the health and productivity of our natural ecosystems. This image is a reminder of the simple joys and wonders of the natural world, and the importance of preserving and protecting it for future generations to enjoy.
