Milkweed & Monarch Caterpillar Enamel Pin - Gold Plated Nature Jewelry

This is a high-quality and well-detailed enamel pin of a Monarch Caterpillar on a Milkweed Flower.  There are two clasps on the back for securing the pin and preventing rotation.  Each Pin is about 1.4" inches tall and is packaged on its own meaning card.  The pin and meaning card are further packaged in a clear plastic sleeve.  The base metal is zinc alloy and is plated with gold.  This is a Grade A Pin, the highest grade awarded to pins, meaning that it doesn't have any noticeable flaws.  

This flower provides nectar for a variety of pollinators, while its leaves serve as the primary food source for Monarch caterpillars. Milkweed also contains toxic compounds called cardenolides, which offer protection to the Monarchs by making them unpalatable to predators.
