Origins of Renaissance Art. The origins of Renaissance art can be traced to Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. During this so-called âproto-Renaissanceâ period (1280-1400), Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as reawakening to the ideals and achievements of classical Roman culture.
Adult butterflies also use color to their advantageânot only to blend in but also to warn. For instance, the adult monarch sports a bright orange color and distinctive pattern, a red flag to potential predators that it's distasteful and toxic. Another species called the viceroy has even evolved to mimic the monarch's appearance so that predators keep their distance, according to Prudic.
Q: What is the longest time a Monarch could live? A: Monarchs that migrate south in the fall, and north in the spring, live longest. The longest that these butterflies live as adults is probably about eight months. Q: Which nectar plant is the most popular food for the Monarch butterfly? A: Monarchs nectar from many flower species, and their favorite species vary a great deal because different nectar flowers are available at different times of the year and in different locations.
