Royal Butterfly knows about important travel events.

Royal Butterfly knows about important travel events. Travel over 1,200-2,800 miles from the United States and Canada to the jungles of central Mexico. There are winter butterflies in the forest, but the survival rate is much lower due to weather conditions. Scientists know the monarch butterfly as Danaus plexippus, which means "change of dreams" in Greek. This name is a reminder of the overwintering and metamorphic abilities of the species. Adult monarch butterflies have two pairs of bright orange-red wings, with characteristic black veins and white spots around the edges. Males with distinct black markings on the wing veins are slightly larger than females. Each adult butterfly lives only 4-5 weeks.

Although the number of royal members varies from year to year, the royal population in eastern North America has been steadily declining on average over the past two decades. About 45 hectares of forest.

help. , plant native wildflowers in your area, and help rebuild your monarch's habitat as well as other pollen habitats such as bees and hummingbirds in your area.

When we think of wild animals that are losing their habitat, we usually think of elephants, rhinos and tigers in remote areas. But the monarch has lost its home in our backyard.

The Royal Butterfly goes a long way depending on when development is complete. When they appear in spring or early summer, they begin to multiply within a few days. But if you were born in late summer or fall, you know winter is coming. It's time to head south to the warm climate.

It is easily identifiable by the colorful pattern of spots. This is the idea. Some colors warn predators of bad and poisonous tastes. The poison comes from their food. Plant sap is poisonous, but the state not only tolerates it, but stores it in the body and uses it for use by predators such as birds.

Excellent photographs, they look really good, it is never easy to get so close to a butterfly, they do not stop flying from one side to the other.
