Description
"Monarch Butterfly And Marigold Flower In Sepia".
The monarch will always return to areas rich in milkweed to lay their eggs upon the plant. The milkweed they feed on as a caterpillar is actually a poisonous toxin and is stored in their bodies. This is what makes the monarch butterfly taste so terrible to predators.
• A black spot on an inside surface of its hind wing distinguishes the male Monarch butterflies from the females that have no such spot
• The monarch butterfly does not have lungs; breathing takes place through tiny vents in the thorax or abdomen called spiracles, and an organized arrangement of tubes called trachea, distribute the oxygen through the Monarch’s body system
• They have a 10 cm wingspan and weigh between 0.25 to 0.75 grams
• The wings flap slower than other butterflies at about 300 to 720 times a minute
• Senses of smell and vision help the Monarch butterflies to assess its environment
