Yellow Monarch Butterfly Research Paper

Vivid Visions

My vision is a close up side focus of a yellow Monarch butterfly.
The outline of the butterfly’s wings are black with white spots.
The black outside of his delicate wings
Spread magnificently through them like veins on a leaf.
He is standing boldly on the bumpy lime green pollen in the center of the dazzling yellow flower.
The flower’s petals are as droopy as a flag on a day with no wind
And they shine like golden ingots as the sun reflects off of them.
In the background there is the unclear picture of more yellow flowers shimmering in the light.
It's quite the sight and my hope is you see my vision as well,
Maybe in such a way where it is even better
And 10 times more swell.
The rest is just a blur, you can’t even

    I chose to investigate the environmental impact of gypsy moths because I have personally had experience cleaning up after these pests in northern Ohio and I know that they are becoming an issue in other parts of Ohio as well. I was able to witness some of the damage they have done while removing defoliated trees in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Gypsy moths are a non-native, invasive species that, over the past decade, have been coming into the state from Pennsylvania and Michigan. The moth undergoes a complete metamorphosis and while a caterpillar it has the ability to feed on over three hundred species of trees and shrubs and cause serious damage and defoliation.
