The Battle Of Shade And Sun: Monarch Butterfly Edition Introduction Under the radiant sun, we noticed that monarch butterflies may be found, basking and warming their wings in the sun's rays. Due to this fact, we began to wonder if monarch butterflies would prefer living in the sun or the shade. This led to the decision of conducting a research study on whether monarchs would prefer the shade or the sun. We measured how many monarchs were attracted to the dahlias grown in the sun, and…

I am also going to be explaining how they are able to migrate. Did you know that it takes 4 generations of the butterflies to get back down to Mexico? Well without further ado here is my report. A butterfly has a very interesting life cycle. First they start out as an egg. But once they hatch from…

environmental organization called Monarch Watch. Monarch Watch focuses on helping monarch butterflies, their habitat, and tracking their fall migration. Monarch butterflies are important to save because they provide biodiversity, have educational and scientific value, and are aesthetically pleasing. I help Monarch Watch by raising all the monarch caterpillars and eggs I find and tagging the adult butterflies before sending them on their annual migration to Mexico. Monarch Watch collects these…

decrease of the monarch butterfly population. The monarch butterfly species is extremely important species. This is because they are an essential part of the food chain. The lacking amount of milkweed is what is held accountable for the death of monarch butterflies. It is very important to conserve the milkweed population to protect the wonderful monarch butterflies. An increase of the Monarch butterfly population will lead to a healthy environment. There are some issues with these monarch…

Monarch Butterfly and Habitat Loss Monarchs might as well be the most advantageous species on the planet considering they help with pollinating plants which produce our crops and provides a food source for birds and small reptiles. However, the number of monarchs is decreasing from habitat loss, climate change, chemical pollutants, poaching/farming, and public awareness.

I found the extent to which Louis XIV was an "absolute" monarch to be fairly broad. Not only was the absolute power in politics, but he also at absolute control of the military, and even some aspects of religious freedoms and practices. I think that with all these added together, it's fair to say that he was an absolute monarch. There are multiple examples of how he had control of politics, religious freedoms and the military.

From larva to a majestic winged monarch butterfly, the transformation a caterpillar undergoes in its quest to become a butterfly is truly unique. In such process a sixteen legged pest morphs into a beautiful butterfly. Though a beautiful sight, what a caterpillar actually goes through on this journey is quite gruesome.

The data collection of the different environment that the monarch butterfly evolution pace was the most exciting moment of my life. I got to see a type of species go from a little caterpillar to a full grown butterfly, which drew me into science. After that experience, I started to questions why, why does this butterfly change into…
