Monarch butterflies *(Danaus plexippus)* are recognizable by their vibrant orange wings with black veins and white spots. They are widespread across North America, migrating thousands of miles between breeding and overwintering grounds. Monarchs inhabit diverse habitats, including meadows, fields, and gardens. They feed primarily on milkweed, which contains toxins that make them unpalatable to predators. Monarchs are famous for their mass migrations, a remarkable feat of endurance and navigation.
