Monarch Butterfly

The world’s most studied butterfly, the monarch lives its most brilliant life then dies at 2 to 6 weeks. Unless you’re lucky enough to be the last generation of the year, which gets an extended life to go somewhere warm on holiday. Monarch is the only butterfly to migrate like birds and they estimate a billion monarchs arrive in the mountains of Mexico every year. We see a monarch’s glorious coloring and think ‘pretty’. To an animal, it’s code for "Don't eat me. I'm poisonous." The monarch became Vermont's official state butterfly in 1987. Don’t let ours flutter by.
