Monarch Butterflies exhibit several key adaptations that enhance their survival. Their vivid orange and black coloration serves as a warning to predators about their toxicity, which they acquire from the milkweed plants they consume as caterpillars. Additionally, they have a remarkable migratory behavior, traveling thousands of miles to find suitable breeding grounds, which allows them to escape harsh winter conditions. Their ability to navigate using environmental cues, such as the sun's position and the Earth's magnetic field, further aids their long-distance migration.
