During "powered" or "flapping" flight, monarchs flap their wings about 5 to 12 times a second, depending on how hard they're trying to move. They flap at the slower rate when flying leisurely, such as during migration. The faster rate is needed when flying into a strong headwind, or when trying to escape from a predator, for example. About 400 strokes per minute
