Monarch Butterfly

Monarch Butterfly

From egg to caterpillar to butterfly, here is the story of how monarchs live. Eggs are almost always laid on milkweed plants, which provide food. From the egg crawls a caterpillar, which molts about five times before the miracle of metamorphosis turns it into a butterfly. In her usual clear and concise manner, Gail Gibbons explains the wonder of these beloved and delicate creatures that can fly as high as 2,000 feet and migrate up to 4,000 miles. "How to Raise a Monarch Butterfly" is included.
