Monarch Butterflies do live in Illinois. While they migrate and winter in Mexico, they also live in prairie states. This is due to the milkweed plant which Monarchs use to lay their eggs and feed on.
The national insect of the US is the monarch butterfly.
The Texas state insect is the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). It was designated as the state insect in 1995 due to its significance as a migratory species and its beauty. The Monarch butterfly is known for its distinctive orange and black patterned wings.
A butterfly with a name starting with the letter v is the Viceroy butterfly. It resembles the Monarch butterfly but i has a black line that crosses its wings.
If the monarch butterfly were to become extinct, it would disrupt the ecosystems it is a part of, including affecting other species that rely on it for pollination and as a food source. It could also have negative impacts on the environment and the biodiversity of the regions it inhabits.
Both Monarchs and Viceroy are equally poisonous to birds and other predators. This was not discovered until 1991, when entymologists examined the Batesian theory of mimicry and discovered that the Viceroy is also poisonous. The mimicry is possibly by both species - they are able to double up on predator recognition. If you have any other butterfly questions, e-mail them to me @ liviebug97@yahoo.com.
