Why did Illinois pick the monarch butterfly as their state butterfly?

In 1974 a third-grader from Decatur suggested that the monarch butterfly become the state insect. Schoolchildren lobbied for the monarch butterfly and the General Assembly passed a bill making it official in 1975. The monarch feeds on the nectar of milkweed during their migration. Monarch Butterflies are found in Illinois from May to October. They migrate south in the winter to central Mexico, and then return in the spring. Monarchs lay eggs on milkweed plants.

What butterfly mimics a painted lady butterfly?
The Monarch butterfly has a black body, however the Painted Lady butterfly has more like a brownish body.

I cannot answer the question for the state of Illinois; however, most states are similar and it would be best to call your local police department (preferably the state police). Indiana allows toddlers to be in the cab of a pickup as long as they are in a child seat or booster seat (depending on the size and age of the child).
Who chooses the head of government in a monarchy?
It depends on the monarchy, but assuming a democracy, the monarch invites the leader of the winning party to form a government - so although, in principle, the monarch could pick anyone, in practise they pick the person who can command a majority of seats in the government.
