Danaus plexippus..<br /><br />While most butterflies have a very short life-span, average of two weeks to one month ... Some butterflies like Monarchs, Mourning Cloak and Heliconians may live to about 9-10 months ... <br /><br />Talking about Monarchs, not all Monarchs generations live for 9 month ... They have a very complex life-cycle ... with different generation serving different functions. Like during the spring and summer months, the Monarchs that we see in US and Canada, live for only about a month ... Only the caterpillar that develop into Monarchs in late summer, will be the "migrating generation" ... The fall in temperature and shorter days, is believed to be the trigger for migration ... The Monarchs migrate about 4500 kms / 2800 miles in about 6 weeks. Monarchs along the west coast winter in California and along the east coast winter in Mexico ... But they do not reproduce until spring ... Only by Febuary/March they reproduce and die off [so this generation lives the longest] ... The next generation begins migrating north in summer months ... These generations live for only about one month ... After 2-3 generations reach Canada ...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5672047480851872849-7797320412347075335?l=thebutterflyhaven.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jyotihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08930301862493132019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672047480851872849.post-85788480204704380082007-11-13T17:23:00.000-08:002008-12-11T09:30:30.603-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zJpnTu57Koc/Rz3ES--a-QI/AAAAAAAACJ0/DjyyKtziL7E/s1600-h/LI-butterfly-1073b.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zJpnTu57Koc/Rz3ES--a-QI/AAAAAAAACJ0/DjyyKtziL7E/s400/LI-butterfly-1073b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133474980693735682" /></a><br /><br /><i> click on the image for enlarged view ... </i><br /><br />Painted Lady ...
