The '''Monarch Butterfly''' (also known as '''monarch''') is a brown-orange [[insect|butterfly]] that can be found in [[September]], [[October]], and [[November]]. It is very common. Like most [[bugs]], the creature sells for a considerably lower amount than all [[fish]] - in this case, lower than all of them. It is the only butterfly to appear during the [[autumn]] and one of four bugs (itself, the [[cricket]], the [[Bell Cricket]], and the [[migratory locust]]) to be limited to autumn.

The '''monarch butterfly''' (known as the '''monarch''' prior to {{NL|short}}){{Note|{{Nihongo foot|オオカバマダラ|Ōkabamadara}}}} is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}}. The monarch butterfly first appeared in {{WW}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. Its scales are colored orange.

==Donating to the Museum==
+
In the games that the monarch butterfly appears in, it is a common bug that the player can encounter, and can be found flying around flowers. In {{NH}}, it can be caught during [[fall]]. It is the only butterfly to appear exclusively during fall, and one is of four bugs (itself, the [[cricket]], the [[bell cricket]], and the [[migratory locust]]) to be limited to fall.
−
As with all [[fish]] and [[insects]] in the {{SER}} series, the monarch can be donated to the [[museum]] by talking to [[Blathers]], who will give some information upon donation.

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.

The monarch butterfly (known as the monarch prior to New Leaf)[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series. The monarch butterfly first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World and has appeared in all subsequent games. Its scales are colored orange.

In the games that the monarch butterfly appears in, it is a common bug that the player can encounter, and can be found flying around flowers. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught during fall. It is the only butterfly to appear exclusively during fall, and one is of four bugs (itself, the cricket, the bell cricket, and the migratory locust) to be limited to fall.
