The magical life cycle of one little monarch butterfly by @wolfehartwoods 🐛💚 The process of becoming a butterfly from an egg takes approximately 30 days. The monarch butterflies are endangered because of habitat loss and because milkweed (their food source) is often seen as a weed and is cut down and removed. So please do not remove milkweed and plant natives where you can! 🦋 There are studies that show butterflies can remember their time as caterpillars, however, this memory is only biological and not personal - they only remember things on an instinctual level related to their survival. #plantmilkweed #monarch #butterfly #butterflies #savethemonarchs #milkweedformonarchs #monarchcaterpillar #caterpillar #monarchbutterflyhabitat #monarchbutterflies #nature #raisingmonarchs #wildlife #chrysalis #monarchchrysalis #wolfehartwoods
