Monarch Butterfly Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a monarch butterfly! Guess the butterflies are a democracy now!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Did you know the monarch butterfly migrates south for the winter and returns north for the summer?

 Indeed, these horrid orange beasties do not tolerate the cold and travel 3,000 miles to escape the winter.

  During the journey, they cluster together in trees by the thousands just to stay warm.

 Imagine! Hordes of the foul flittering fiends huddled together in one place! If only they'd put on tiny coats instead.
