| Monarch butterflies are known by scientists
and entomologists alike as Danaus plexippus,
which translated from Greek literally means "sleepy
transformation". The name evokes the
species' ability to hibernate and metamorphize.
Usually adult Monarch butterflies live only
for about four to five weeks. As autumn approaches
a very special generation of butterflies
is born, the annual creation of the unique "Methuselah
generation." Unlike their parents, grandparents,
great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents
- all of whom had ephemeral lives measured
in the weeks - Methuselah generation butterflies
survive seven to eight months. In human terms,
with an average life span of 75 years, this
would be like having children who lived to
be 525 years old! The reason for this is
that the Methuselah generation must perform
the incredible feat of flying from Canada
and/or the United States to the center of
Mexico - after which they begin their journey
Northward again. Once they reach the United
States, a kind of relay race begins between
their short-lived offspring. Since they only
have four or five weeks to live they will
have to continue making the trek Northward
using several generations of butterflies. |
