Monarch Butterfly

Product Description

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names, depending on region, include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black-veined brown. The monarch butterfly is one of the most recognisable and well studied butterflies on the planet.

Its orange wings are laced with black lines and bordered with white dots. Famous for their seasonal migration, millions of monarchs migrate from the United States and Canada south to California and Mexico for the winter.

Female monarchs have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot called the androconium in the center of each hind wing.
