The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most well-known butterflies around the world. They are large, colorful insects that have long been associated with migration and nature. The butterfly’s bright orange body with black borders and spots makes it easy to spot as it flutters among the tall grasses!
This species of butterfly is known as a “symbol” of migration.
The monarch butterfly is known as a symbol of migration. This species of butterfly is known for its massive wingspan, which makes it difficult to capture on film and photograph. However, when you see them in person it’s hard not to be impressed by their size!
Monarchs can be beautiful, fascinating insects with their bright colors and intricate wings.
The monarch has a life cycle that includes three stages: egg stage, caterpillar stage (also known as a chrysalis), and adult butterfly. During this time period, which lasts about 10 days on average, they will undergo metamorphosis before emerging as adults.
Monarchs are known for their beautiful markings—their wings have black veins along the edges while white spots cover most of each wing’s surface area creating an overall pattern of dark browns and greens that resemble fall foliage!
The monarch’s wingspan is 7 to 10 cm.
The monarch’s wingspan is 7 to 10 cm. The wings are black with orange with white spots on the edges of the wing membranes. The body color is mostly dark brown with a lighter top side that blends into white on the underside of their abdomens and legs.
The monarch’s lifespan can be up to 20 years in captivity, but only about 10 years in nature; this may be due to their long migrations across North America, which take them from Mexico northward as far as Canada during one season before returning southward again during another season!
