Background Information: The Monarch butterfly belongs the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Anthropoda, the class Insecta, the order Lepidoptera, and the family Nymphalidae (Smith 2014). The genus and the epithet combine to yield the scientific name Danaus plexippus . Because it is multicellular, it belongs to the domain Eukaryota (Smith 2014).
The Monarch knows instinctively where to go and how to get there. It is still a mystery exactly how this information is passed on. Monarchs live in all states and reproduce wherever they can find enough Milkweed to support their young. Monarchs are not pests and will not eat anything but Milkweed. They do not hurt crops, ornamental trees or in any way upset the balance of Nature in areas they are introduced. Monarchs are the State Butterfly of Alabama, Idaho, Illinois, Texas, West Virginia and Minnesota.
