EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a large group of Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) gracefully rests against a backdrop of pure darkness, creating an intriguing contrast of colors and textures. Taken in the Sierra Chincua mountain range of Angangueo, Michoacan, Mexico, this image showcases the beauty and wonder of these iconic insects as they gather in their winter roosting sites. Monarch butterflies are known for their distinctive orange and black wings, which are highlighted in this studio-like shot. The top view, with the butterflies arranged directly above each other, offers a unique perspective, revealing the intricate patterns and colors on their wings. The side view also showcases their elegant form, with their slender bodies and delicate wings. This image captures the essence of the Monarch butterfly migration, a natural phenomenon that brings these creatures together in large numbers. The absence of people and the controlled environment of the studio shot emphasizes the raw beauty and natural wonder of these animals. The Monarch butterflies in this photograph belong to the Nymphalidae family, which is the largest family of butterflies and moths. The image is a colorful and vibrant portrait of these captivating creatures, perfect for animal lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those seeking inspiration from the natural world. This photograph by Joel Sartore is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of nature and showcase its beauty in a new light. The black background adds a sense of mystery and intrigue, making this image a standout addition to any collection of animal portraits or wildlife photography.
