Wild Toronto: Monarch Butterfly

By Rosemary Mosco

Wild Toronto is a bi-weekly comic strip about the animals and plants that make a living in our city. Rosemary Mosco makes the comics, and would love to hear your suggestions (in the comments!) on wildlife to be profiled.

    “You see, just like the flawless monarch butterfly from which I take my name, The Monarch has many ways to sting.”
    “Monarchs… don’t sting…”

    Monarch Butterflies are especially noted for their lengthy annual migration. In the North America they make massive southward migrations starting in the August until the first frost. A northward migration takes the place in the spring. The Monarch Butterflies are the only butterfly that migrates both north and the south as the birds do on a regular basis. But no single individual makes the entire round trip. Female monarchs deposit eggs for the next generation during these migrations. Save the tree, save paper and save the Monarch Butterflies. I remember a few years ago when a very cold snap hit that the area. The number of the dead butterflies or the Monarch Butterflies was far greater than the total estimated number of the butterflies in existence.
