Newly emerged Monarch Butterfly from Chrysalis in the garden. A member of the Lepidoptera family Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus). It remained 2 hours for the wings to fully dry before flying off. Monarch butterflies are an iconic species, easily recognized by their large and vibrant orange wings. The brilliantly-coloured Monarch is a summer breeder in many areas of southern Canada, and most Canadian-born adults head to the highlands of central Mexico to overwinter. It takes four to five generations of Monarchs to make it to Canada during the spring migration. I

The brilliantly-coloured Monarch is a summer breeder in many areas of southern Canada, and most Canadian-born adults head to the highlands of central Mexico to overwinter. It takes four generations of Monarchs to make it to Canada during the spring migration.
