🦋 BUTTERFLY OF THE WEEK: MONARCH 🦋
(Danaus plexippus)
Meet one of the most iconic butterflies in the world! 🧡🖤
🍊 Striking colours: Monarchs are instantly recognisable by their bright orange wings, black veins and white-spotted black borders.
🌎 Amazing migration: Some Monarchs migrate thousands of miles from North America to Mexico to escape the colder weather!
🌿 A special diet: Monarch caterpillars feed on milkweed plants, which help make them toxic to many predators.
🦋 A clever defence: Their bold colours warn predators that they may be unpleasant or harmful to eat.
