Monarch butterfly
Since the 19th century, it has been found in New Zealand, and in Australia since 1871, where it is called the wanderer. It is resident in the Canary Islands, the Azores, and Madeira, and is found as an occasional migrant in Western Europe and a rare migrant in the United Kingdom. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3½–4 in).Female monarchs have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot called the androconium in the center of each hind wing. Males are also slightly larger than female monarchs.The monarch is famous for its southward migration and northward return in summer from Canada to Mexico and Baja California which spends the life of three to four generations of the butterfly.A color variation has been observed in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the United States as early as the late 19th century. Named nivosus by lepidopterists, it is grayish-white in all areas of the wings that are normally orange.In North America, the monarch ranges from southern Canada to northern South America. It rarely strays to western Europe (rarely as far as Greece) from being transported by US ships or by flying there if weather and wind conditions are right. It has also been found in Bermuda, Hawaii, the Solomons, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, Ceylon, India, the Azores, and the Canary Islands.The length of these journeys exceeds the normal lifespan of most monarchs, which is less than two months for butterflies born in early summer. The last generation of the summer enters into a nonreproductive phase known as diapause, which may last seven months or more.

La mariposa monarca, (Danaus plexippus), es una especie de lepidóptero ditrisio de la familia Nymphalidae. Es quizás la más conocida de todas las mariposas de América del Norte. Desde el siglo XIX ha sido introducida en Nueva Zelanda y en Australia
Danaus plexippus es un lepidóptero que emprende un largo viaje de más de 4.000 km hacia México.
La razón de la migración de estas 100 a 140 millones de mariposas monarca estriba en que sólo es posible alcanzar la madurez sexual en climas templados. Para lograrlo hiberna a 3.300 m de altura, en Sierra Madre, donde la temperatura las mantiene aletargadas. Llegada la primavera, la mariposa se reproduce y emprende el camino de vuelta.

Un gran número de mariposas monarca hiberna en México, concretamente en el sector central del país en el que se halla el parque nacional al que estos invertebrados han dado nombre. Sus migraciones entre el centro de México y el centro-norte de Estados Unidos, aunque extenuantes, las realizan dos veces en sus dos años de vida. Los científicos piensan que el clima montañoso les ofrece una combinación favorable de humedad y temperatura que impide que la mariposa se deseque y ralentice su metabolismo, para así conservar sus reservas de grasa. El viaje más largo registrado en una mariposa monarca adulta marcada fue de 2.900 kilómetros. Todos los otoños emigran más de 3.000 km, desde Canadá y el norte de los Estados Unidos hasta Florida, México o California, donde pasan el invierno. Todos los años realizan la misma ruta, descansan en los mismos sitios y se dirigen al mismo árbol. Durante la semi-hibernación invernal, decenas de miles de estos lepidópteros comparten el mismo árbol. — withJvs Sixthgrade.

Monarch Butterflies
Monarch butterflies are the most beautiful of all butterflies, some say, and are considered the “king” of the butterflies, hence the name “monarch”. There are lots of very cool things to learn about the monarch butterfly and we’ll try to get through most of them here.
Monarch butterflies go through four stages during one life cycle, and through four generations in one year
In February and March, the final generation of hibernating monarch butterflies comes out of hibernation to find a mate. They then migrate north and east in order to find a place to lay their eggs. This starts stage one and generation one of the new year for the monarch butterfly.
Monarch butterflies are not able to survive the cold winters of most of the United States so they migrate south and west each autumn to escape the cold weather. The monarch migration usually starts in about October of each year, but can start earlier if the weather turns cold sooner than that.
The monarch butterflies will spend their winter hibernation in Mexico and some parts of Southern California where it is warm all year long. If the monarch lives in the Eastern states, usually east of the Rocky Mountains, it will migrate to Mexico and hibernate in oyamel fir trees. If the monarch butterfly lives west of the Rocky Mountains, then it will hibernate in and around Pacific Grove, California in eucalyptus trees. Monarch butterflies use the very same trees each and every year when they migrate, which seems odd because they aren’t the same butterflies that were there last year. These are the new fourth generation of monarch butterflies, so how do they know which trees are the right ones to hibernate in? Monarch butterflies are the only insect that migrates to a warmer climate that is 2,500 miles away each year.

MONARCH BUTTERFLY
The monarch butterfly is the only butterfly that fly both north and south.
Monarch butterflys fly southward, migrations stars in August before the first frost.
By the end of October butterflys migrate to Michoacan.
During this migrations female mornarch butterflys lay eggs for the next generation.
The butterfly that leaves Canada and USA is not the same who arrives to Mexico, they reproduce during migration.
During diapause, butterflies fly to one of many overwintering sites. The overwintering generation generally doesn't reproduce until it leaves the overwintering site in February and March.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations return to their northern locations in USA and Canada in spring.

I think that the Monarch Butterflies are so beautiful,they arrived from U.S.A,Canada and Mexico.Not to Mexico city they go to Valle de Bravo and Michoacan.If the butterflies have sex the male die.
I love them they are part of nature !

The monarch is especially known for its long annual migration. Make mass migration south from August to October, while migrates north in spring. Robert Michael, "National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Butterflies" Females lay eggs for the next generation during these migrations. The population east of the Rockies overwinter in the states of Mexico and Michoacan, Mexico, in the Biosphere Reserve of the Monarch Butterfly. These sanctuaries were declared in 2008 as a World Heritage Site in the form of natural places. The eastern population overwinters in various locations in the central coastal area of California, United States, primarily in Pacific Grove and Santa Cruz. The length of these journeys exceeds the life of any butterfly (live four days as egg, two weeks as a caterpillar, chrysalis 10 days and 2-6 weeks butterfly). The manner in which the species is able to return to the same overwintering sites after several generations is still under investigation, the flight patterns are inherited, based on a mixture of circadian rhythms and the sun's position in the cielo which are based on their antenas.
Monarch butterflies completely cover the trees.
It is one of the few insects that fails to make transatlantic crossings. A few monarch butterflies arrive southwest of Great Britain and Spain in the years of favorable winds, and have even permanently installed in the Canary Islands since 1804, in Tenerife and in parks and Los Arcornocales Strait in Cadiz province, thanks to the warm weather and the existence of plants they need to survive, introduced by man: the adelfilla, which must have come from Central America in the sixteenth century, and matte silk, which came from Africa in XVIII.18 19

Yo opino que la noticia o reportaje es muy interesante y muy linda ya que aparte de explicar sobre las mariposas monarca cuenta la pedida de matrimonio de una pareja. De gran belleza y colorido, las mariposas monarca son de vital importancia en el ciclo de la vida como agente polinizador y factor de equilibrio ecológico en los bosques que habitan.
Se distinguen de sus congéneres por su longevidad; mientras otras mariposas viven tiene un ciclo vital de 24 días, las Monarca puede vivir hasta 9 meses.
A su vez, sus alas presentan un patrón de color naranja y negro fácilmente reconocibles.
Es difícil decir cuántos huevos ponen las mariposas hembras durante sus vidas, pero se estima que el promedio en su hábitat natural es probablemente entre 300 y 400.
Durante su viaje y estancia en México se cortejan y reproducen los ejemplares adultos y nace la generación que volará en marzo hacia el EEUU y Canadá; ninguna de ellas regresará a México, pues su ciclo de vida dura sólo algunas semanas.

La mariposa monarca tiene unas alas que presentan un patrón de colores naranja y negro fácilmente reconocible. La hembra monarca tiene venas más oscuras en sus alas, además de ser más delgadas y el macho tiene un lugar en el centro de una vena de cada ala posterior en el que se liberan feromonas, y además, es ligeramente más grande. Su longevidad puede alcanzar los 9 meses, mientras que otras especies duran unos pocos días. La monarca contiene glucósidos cardiacos en su cuerpo, tomado de las plantas de asclepias que las orugas comen y resultan venenosas para los depredadores, esto, como es lógico, la lleva a tener una imitadora, la mariposa virrey, la cual es inofensiva, pero se puede confundir fácilmente con una monarca, aún siendo considerablemente más pequeña.

Yo me identifico con estas mariposas ya que viajan como si estuvieran de vacaciones y yo usualmente viajo en las vacaciones.

Para mi la historia hablaba bien de México sin importar lo que digan otros países y que la gente puede visitar México con seguridad ya que los grupos de criminales solo pelean entre sí para obtener más territorios.
Yo lo compare cuando me mude de casa para vivir en un mejor lugar con muchas mejores cosas como la escuela.
Me pareció buena historia ya que nos contaba los diferentes sitios que podemos visitar.
Lo que yo se de las mariposas es que son la evolución del gusano y vienen a México por cuestiones de clima

La mariposas monarca tienen colores llamativos,las mariposas monarca es una especie de lepidóptoro,las mariposas monarca emigran desde Canada a México sus alas presentan un patrón de colores naranja y negro,las hembras monarca tienen venas mas oscuras en sus alas,el macho son más grandes que las hembras,la mariposas monarca tiene colores llamativos para espantar posibles depredadores.
Yo comparo a las mariposas monarca con las mudanzas porque cambian de un lugar a otro.

Yo opino que ya no talarán los árboles y que hubiera más seguridad en esa parte. También opino que es padre que las mariposas monarca vengan a nuestro país.
Sus alas presentan un patrón de colores naranja y negro fácilmente reconocible, con una envergadura de entre 8,9 y 10,2 cm. La hembra monarca tiene venas más oscuras en sus alas, además de ser más delgadas7 y el macho tiene un lugar en el centro de una vena de cada ala posterior en el que se liberan feromonas,8 y además, es ligeramente más grande.
Yo comparo a las mariposas monarca con los humanos porque los humanos viajan a la playa y después regresan a su casa y las mariposas monarca vienen a México y después regresan a Canadá.
Y TU? COMO TE COMPARAS CON LAS MARIPOSAS MONARCA?
