The Monarch Butterfly Celestine Roberts

The Monarch Butterfly (Denaus plaxippus) is one of the most widely recognised butterflies there is. Its characteristic orange and black webbed wings with white dots make it also one of the most beautiful. This book will help you familiarise yourself with the Monarch Butterfly and it's amazing life-cycle. Later in the book there are some very useful tips for creating a Monarch habitat in your own back garden, including the conditions that will help to attract butterflies and the types of plants they need to feed on. For the true Monarch enthusiast, there is even a section on raising butterflies which is a fascinating and rewarding process. We hope you enjoy reading about this beautiful creature!
