Moving Monarch Butterfly species Add-on Kits
are designed so you can string along from one
to three additional electronic moving butterflies,
dragonflies, fairies or moths together using just
one plug outlet. If you already have one of our
Complete Kits from any of our large selection of
electronic moving insects then one Monarch Add-on
Kit would be a great and simple addition to your
collection. When you have two or more moving butterflies
in the same display it is a real eye catcher when
the wings move, especially with such colorful butterflies!
The more wing movement you have going the more
active and alive your nature display will appear.
Live monarchs migrate in very large groups and
cover long distances. Each Autumn, thousands of
Monarch butterflies gather in Southern Canada to
migrate South. Some of these butterflies travel
over 2,900 kilometers just to overwinter in places
such as Michoacan, and Mexico in a small town
called Angangueo. Monarch Butterflies also
overwinter in Cuba, Pacific Grove, as well
as in Newark, California. In sanctuaries such as
the one in Angangueo, Michoacan inside Mexico there
are millions of these gorgeous butterflies aggregating.
From morning until about 1:00pm is their most
active time of the day. At times Monarchs can
be seen flying around and almost blocking the
sun and sky. If you are there you can hear the
fascinating sound of hoards of Monarchs with their
wings flapping in concert.
When Monarch butterflies
are in the North, they are distributed throughout
a large terrain, but as they migrate South they
all seem to want to stay in the same areas. During
the long flight of a migration there can be a great
danger posed by predators. In Mexico, many of the
trees that have been homes to these butterflies
for years unfortunately are being cut down and
likewise Monarch
Butterfly populations are decreasing. In Northern
Canada, the United States, and in Mexico, there
are various organizations, which aim to protect
Monarch butterflies. Humans
need to be much more appreciative of beautiful
but fragile Monarch Butterflies! |
