Monarch Butterfly Life Span
It takes about two weeks for monarchs to go through their egg and larva stages. Once they've reached full size as a caterpillar, loadedp with all those glycocides from their food source, thet enter, the pupa stage. Pupation is when the monarch caterpillar forms a case around its body known as a chrysalis. Normally this hangs from the underside of the milkweed leaf. Yet i have also seen some research that said that the milkweed does not really where they are going to do their their pupa stage - so just f y i if that rang oddly to you. A the life span of monarchs varies, and that is actually connected
Monarch butterflies are still in the middle of their story – and it’s one that is precarious. Humans are still trying to figure out a lot about them, and aspects of the monarch story have been misrepresented over the years.
