Some people call it the milkweed butterfly because it both lays eggs and feeds on milkweed plants.
Their wings stretch out to a breadth of 95 to 105 mm. Monarchs are the only butterfly known to migrate annually from northern latitudes to warmer wintering areas. The monarchs make their summer homes in Canada and the United States on either side of the Continental Divide, which they cannot cross. In fall, they begin a migration to the oyamel forests in the highlands of south central Mexico during which they fly up to 50 miles per day. Some monarchs in Florida appear to stay around and breed all winter.
