Wing Color
• With the upper wings a tawny-orange, the Monarch Butterflies wingspan ranges from 8.9-10.2cm.
• A monarch’s wings are made up of thousands of tiny, thin, flat scales.
• These wings are so unique, that each individual scale has its own special color.

Migration• Monarchs migrate up to 2,000 miles right before
winter starts.• And by late fall, they come to rest in California
or form huge colonies.• Monarchs spend their winter in warm areas such
as Texas and Florida in the United States. • Scientists have been studying monarch’s flight,
trying to figure out how they find their way to the mountain ranges in Mexico.

Protection
• Monarch butterflies protect themselves by eating milkweed plants.
• When they eat the milkweed plants, it causes death of their predators.
• There are protective chemicals that the caterpillar obtains by eating the milkweed, with it, through its metamorphosis into a butterfly.
