I was looking for something to draw to give as Christmas gifts. My wife had found a dead monarch butterfly. I did not have an orange or red pencil that I liked, but gave me the inspiration to draw a butterfly. I had some blue pencils, A little search on the internet and I fond what I was looking for.

They were a lot of fun to draw. I gave them to different people, so probably the only time they will hang together.
While drawing them, I did some internet searching. some interesting things about them on the internet. I can not verify anything I read, so I will just let you search them if you are interested.
Im not a specialist or know a lot about butterflies, other than I like looking at them. We try to plant plants that butterflies like....
This is the first time Ive drawn butterflies. I might draw some more. They are not hard to draw.
Leave a comment, I would like to hear from you. Post some pictures or link to your drawings of butterflies.
Good job!
