How strong was a T. rex bite!?

A monarch butterfly's 3,000-mile journey!
Q: What temperature do monarchs prefer and is migration temperature-driven?
They migrate to avoid freezing and to find nectar; they tolerate a range but rest in cooler forests during diapause, resuming activity as temperatures rise above about 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
A monarch butterfly's 3,000-mile journey!
Q: How do monarchs cross long distances without a map?
Monarchs rely on a combination of the sun, the Earth's magnetic cues, and an internal time-keeping mechanism in their antennae to navigate, guiding them along migratory routes.
A monarch butterfly's 3,000-mile journey!
Q: How do monarchs find milkweed?
Monarch moms use both sight and smell to locate milkweed, lay eggs on it after testing the plant with their feet, and then rely on the eggs and caterpillars to thrive if the milkweed provides proper nutrition.
A monarch butterfly's 3,000-mile journey!
Q: Hi, my name is Luna. Why are butterflies called butterflies?
There are multiple theories about the origin of the name, but the common understanding is that many languages reference nectar or sweetness; however, the precise etymology is uncertain, and scientists note that butterflies mostly feed on nectar and other substances rather than butter.
