Description

Every summer, monarch butterflies (MB) attract the attention of North Americans who find this colorful Lepidoptera flitting through their gardens and parks. But it is the remarkable voyage that MB in the U.S. and Canada take every fall, when they migrate thousands of miles to a few over-wintering sites in Mexico, that make these beautiful bugs true wonders of nature. Monarchs are the only butterflies to migrate such long distances. This book explores the splendor of these amazing insects. More than 50 full-color photos capture the fine details of the butterfly’s world in all its complex beauty. Documents the trials and tribulations of the MB’s life, including challenges the species faces from human destruction of their over-wintering sites and natural disasters.
