Hannaniah the Monarch Fairy and other recent drawings of Fairies

Welcome back to my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is of a Monarch Fairy.

Hannaniah the Monarch Fairy and other recent drawings of Fairies

Monarch Fairies are unique.  They are actually Fairy Royalty.  They are either a prince, princess, queen or king.  They can also be descended from Fairy Royalty.  They have a special gift of finding milkweed and then the Monarch Fairy uses their wand to call all nearby Monarch Butterflies.  This is the reason Monarch Butterflies can migrate and not starve to death.  There are thousands of descendants of Fairy Royalty who keep busy in the summer by letting Monarch Butterflies know where to find food. 

Fairies can fly, but to fly long distances - in search of milkweed - the Monarch Fairies use a Balteum Volantum or Flying belt.  This allows them to fly far distances at speed.  The Fairy's Flying Belt has a Fairy Symbol on it.  

Monarch butterflies are absolutely amazing.  They migrate from Mexico up further north.  They lay eggs and then die on the way. But the new adult butterflies know the way to keep migrating north.  Then after several generations, the newest emerged monarch butterflies know where to go when they fly south to Central Mexico.  And THAT flight they make in one trip with no stopping to breed. 

Monarch Butterfly numbers are dwindling due to the popular use of herbicides in rural farmland. The herbicides are killing the milkweed.  Monarch caterpillars will only eat milkweed.  Milkweed is the only plant adult female Monarch Butterflies will lay their eggs on.  There are over 100 species of milkweed native to North America and NONE of them is a noxious non-native weed.  

We plant milkweed and we are planting milkweed in our yard next spring to help the monarch butterflies.  

This is a link to a museum that is involved in preserving Monarch Butterflies:

NOTE:  To get the free printable coloring page must click on the link labeled: "Animals."  Then scroll down to the bottom of the page. The models for these three drawings are three beautiful and intelligent young women who all are employed in the same office.  Of course, these are not their actual names.    

I will also be posting this in French and Spanish - the other two languages that are generally spoken in North America. Quebec, Canada, and in the country of Mexico.  There are also many Spanish speakers in the United States.  I know, I meet them and talk to them frequently.  And I once taught lots of Spanish-speaking students.  In fact, I was a Bilingual Elementary School Teacher, an English as a Second Language (ESL)Teacher, and later I was a Bilingual Middle School Science Teacher. And my middle school or junior high school had many Spanish-speaking students.  

I know Spanish because I went to part of first grade in Guatemala and began to learn Spanish.  As a young adult, I served a Spanish-speaking mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado, USA.  

Here are the other two Fairy drawings, that were done very recently.  If you scroll down on this page and click on "Older Posts" you will eventually get to the posts with these two Fairies and be able to read about them.  To get to the printable version of this page just click on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus."
