I found these beautiful Monarch wings on the dirt below my Mexican Sunflowers. It was interesting to observe that the wings were there only -- no body. I was sad to observe the apparent demise of this beautiful butterfly, and wondered who could have been the culprit. Jumping critters like grasshoppers and prayingmantis are in the area, could they have been a possible predator?

In any event, I would love to preserve these beautiful wings. Any advice or recommendations on the process??

Thanks, Snug
