The Life Cycle

Did you know? Monarch butterflies can fly a long distance like from Kaikohe to Wellington. The caterpilars grow for about two weeks then form a green chriysalis from which the new butterfly emerges some weeks later. And the wingspan is: 100 mm. Monarch butterflies can lay about 50 on a Swanplant. They can lay about 900 eggs in a day.

How can you tell what is a girl and boy? On the hind wing is a black spot on the black lines, and that means it is a boy. Monarch butterflies that don’t have black spots are girls.

Any more questions? Where do they go in winter? Is it a big butterfly or small?
