EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Monarch butterfly amidst the enchanting oyamel firs forest in Ocampo municipality, Michoacan State, Mexico. Taken on December 19,2016, by renowned photographer Enrique Castro for Agence France-Presse (AFP), this image showcases the annual migration phenomenon of millions of monarch butterflies. The delicate yet vibrant wings of the Monarch butterfly are gracefully spread open as it perches on a branch. Its distinct orange and black pattern stands out against the lush green backdrop provided by the majestic oyamel firs. This species, scientifically known as Danaus plexippus, embarks on an incredible journey spanning over 4,500 kilometers from their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada to reach this sanctuary in Mexico. The photograph serves as a testament to nature's wonders and highlights the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems. The oyamel firs forest provides not only shelter but also sustenance for these magnificent creatures during their winter hibernation period. Enrique Castro's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable creature while capturing its ethereal presence within its natural habitat. This awe-inspiring image invites viewers to marvel at Mother Nature's extraordinary creations and serves as a reminder that we must protect and conserve our environment for future generations to witness such breathtaking spectacles firsthand.
