The title really says it all.

We're suing Fish and Wildlife to force them to set a date for listing the #MonarchButterfly on the #EndangeredSpecies List 🦋🦋

These iconic insects were proposed in 2024, and a final decision was due in December, 2025.

But that decision never came.

Three acrylic paintings of Endangered Species of insects that were included in my fine art thesis project. Top is a 4 by 6 inch painting on canvas board of two Monarch Butterflies sitting on a purple coneflower. Their wings are orange with black veining and outlines, with white spots within the black around the edges. The painting background is a reddish orange, mimicking the colour of the butterflies. They are classed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Bottom left is a 2 by 3 inch painting on wood of a Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. The bee is fluffy, with yellow and black stripes with a rusty coloured patch on its back. The painting background is yellow and brown mix. They are classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Bottom right is a 2 by 3 inch painting on wood of an American Burying Beetle. It is a largish (1-2 inch) carrion beetle with large mandibles. This beetle is black with spots of orange red over its top shell casing, shoulders and head. Painting background is yellow and orange. Classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

BEES are already protected. Some people forget bees and butterflies are vital pollinators of plants: our food supply depends on their wellbeing -- and now MAGA people are making decisions for them too. God help us (and them).
