Real-world information
The monarch, sometimes known as the wanderer, is a milkweed butterfly with a wingspan ranging from 8.9 to 10.2 cm. Native to North America, the monarch can also be found in New Zealand, Australia, Portuguese archipelagos, and occasionally in Western Europe. Aside from their vivid orange coloration, the monarch is famous for its annual migration to and from North and South America, of which no single individual survives — the entire journey takes three to four generations of monarchs to complete. Due to their milkweed diet, the monarch is toxic, or at the very least distasteful to many would-be predators. The highest concentration of toxins can be found in the wings and abdomen of the monarch. The males have a brighter coloration than the females, and are slightly larger. Males also have two small black spots on their rear-wings [see picture], something that is not shared with females.
