The Monarch butterfly is a unique and
extraordinary creature. The adult lives four to five weeks, except an annual
generation called the "Methuselah Generation". Born in the fall, this
special generation lives for seven to eight months. This remarkable
generation flies from the U.S. and Canada to the center of Mexico for the
winter and then begins a northward journey. When they reach the U.S., a
relay begins: their short-lived offspring, with a life span of four to five
weeks, continue their trek north over many generations, traveling as far
into North America as time and weather allows. I caught up with this one in
my backyard. I can understand why they like to rest on almost every flower
along the way.
