Mindy Lighthipe - Symbiosis: Butterflies, Moths and Plants March 3, 2011

Original watercolors by artist Mindy Lighthipe depict the symbiotic relationship of butterflies and moths with plants vital to their survival. Specific plants play host to hungry larvae, and many plants provide flower nectar for adults. Each painting depicts all or part of a butterfly life cycle - from egg to larva to pupa/chrysalis to adult.
