       The animals are a creation of God all them are very important for the planet;  they already fulfill a function in the land. One of the most beautiful animals are  the butterflies; My favorites are the monarch butterflies and blue morpho butterflies, besides providing great beauty on the planet; they are very necessary for many things, for example, serve as food for the other animals also are very important in the pollination process, if the plants are not pollinated the seeds are not produced. For this article I decided to talk about the monarch butterfly.

       According to National Geographic Monarchs are big and very easy to recognize because they have a beautiful orange and black color. They live in North, Central and South America as well Australia. The orange color in this butterfly prevents predators from eating it; they are poisonous. A curious fact is that the monarchs emigrate every year, when the cold is approaching. So, they fly to the  south,  southern California or the center of Mexico. These butterflies return to the same place every year and can find the same tree that as their ancestors.

        The monarchs only live a few months and none makes the travel again. At the end of Winter the monarchs mate then the male butterfly die, the female butterfly lays the eggs on plants then also die. The complete process of egg to butterfly is known as metamorphosis, and  after one months the new butterfly is born and all the process is repeated again.
