Outdoor Elements - The Mourning Cloak Butterfly

Webisode - The Mourning Cloak Butterfly

🦋🌷 One of the very first signs of spring is already taking flight! The Mourning Cloak Butterfly is often the earliest butterfly spotted in the southern Great Lakes region — and its beautiful colors and patterns make it a stunning sight against the late winter landscape, but also hard to spot at times. In this episode of Outdoor Elements, Evie explores its life cycle, what it feeds on before flowers begin to bloom, and why seeing one is such a hopeful sign that warmer days are on the way. 🌤️🌿 Keep your eyes open… spring might just flutter by!
