PEARL CRESCENT BUTTERFLY


This little butterfly only being 1 1/4 inches in diameter is easy to identify by its orange color and markings.


There are several species of the Crescents, but this one is the most common. They prefer small flowers and lay their eggs on the flowers of the Aster family. Click on the picture and look at the beautiful designs.


The butterfly is the symbol of the resurrection. Once it dies and completes its short life cylce it is renewed with a new life. From butterfly to eggs, to larvae to chrysalis to new butterfly. This cycle is completed four times per year.
