= is for Monarch Butterfly=

** The monarch butterfly is one of the most common butterflies in North America. It is hard to tell between the male and female. Males have a small spot on the back of their wing. Females have darker colored black veins in their wings. This butterfly migrates south during winter months. Monarchs live in variety of habitats, such as, forests, prairies, or meadows. As long as there are milkweed plants in an area, than there could be monarch butterflies. The monarch, just like all butterflies, starts off as a caterpillar. The caterpillar eats the milkweed plant that it is born on until it turns into a chrysalis and then a butterfly. **
