Description
Monarch in Light: This photograph of a Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium dubium) was taken in Pomfret Connecticut at Audubon's Bafflin Sanctuary in July 2012. Female Monarchs have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot called the "androconium" in the center of each hind wing from which pheromones are released. In North America, the Monarch ranges from southern Canada to northern South America. In North America they make massive southward migrations starting in August until the first frost. A northward migration takes place in the spring. The monarch is the only butterfly that migrates both north and south as the birds do on a regular basis. Female monarchs deposit eggs for the next generation during these migrations.
