Tree Fairies - Magnolia Tree Fairies coloring page

 This is a free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is a couple of Magnolia Tree Fairies.


Tree Fairies - Magnolia Tree Fairies

This is another drawing in my series of Tree Fairy drawings.  Magnolia Fairies often have moth-like wings.  In fact, Magnolia trees are known to be pollinated in part by Looper Moths.  Magnolia trees are some of the oldest types of flowering plants on Earth.  Magnolia trees were one of the first flowers to evolve on Earth.  They evolved in the Cretaceous Period.  There are different species of modern Magnolia trees.  They range in height from 8 feet to up to 70 feet tall!  That is 2.4 to 21.3 meters tall!

Magnolia Fairies have excellent night vision.  They are active from before dusk to an hour after dawn.  So, you can choose to color this drawing as a night drawing, or a sunset or sunrise drawing.  Feel free to add a rising or setting sun... or a moon.  These Magnolia Fairies are near the top of a Magnolia tree that is near a river.

Notice that both of these Magnolia Fairies are wearing flying belts.  The flying belt helps the Fairy fly to higher heights, further distance, and at great speed.  Of course, all Fairies can fly without the flying belt.  But they can not fly as high, or as fast, or as far.  Magnolia Fairies help with pollination of the Magnolia trees and sometimes with other trees as well.  Magnolia Fairies also keep watch to keep the Magnolia tree safe.  Since some Magnolia trees are small and planted in mortal gardens, Magnolia Fairies are known to be spotted more often than some other types of Tree Fairies.  But, unless you are part Fairy you will probably only see a large moth and not a Fairy.  Of course, Magnolia Faires can make a light with their wands that, in the dark, mortals might mistake for fireflies. 

Did you notice that there is a moth flying in this drawing as well?  Moths tend to have fuzzy antennae.  When they land they rest with their wings open and spread wide. Some moths have a pattern on their wings that mimics the bark of trees.  It is nearly impossible for a predator to distinguish the moth from the bark of the tree. 

You obviously will have noticed that the closer Fairy is a male.  Yes, there ARE male Fairies.  They tend to be more secretive around mortals than Female Fairies are.  So since mortals rarely see Male Fairies, some people have gone to think of Fairies as being only female.  But Fairies are very, very closely related to we humans.  So they require both males and females to reproduce.  In fact, Fairies can transform to mortal size, and some have fallen in love with mortals and chosen to marry their mortal love.  Their children become part of both the mortal and Fairy world... here on Earth.  

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button and then scrolling down.  All new drawings are at the bottom of the list.  Of course, if you are accessing this page way after March 30, 2021, then this will not be the last drawing on the list. Have fun coloring and remember... you could draw a sunset, sunrise, or a dark starry sky, or a dark sky with a moon in it.  Remember that moths tend to have more earthy and less bright colors than most butterflies.
