Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on Showy Milkweed stock photograph

This product helps with teaching about Monarch butterflies.

This 2022 photo of a male Monarch butterfly in Idaho provides a great view of a Monarch nectaring on Showy Milkweed. These beneficial pollinators depend on milkweed plants. There are over 100 species of native milkweeds in the USA; these provide an example of a symbiotic relationship with the Monarch. In the United States, there are two populations of Monarchs, those east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Rockies. For the eastern United States population in 1995-96, overwintering monarchs covered nearly 45 acres of forest in Mexico, by 2021 that had dropped to 7 acres. The western United States population has declined from around ten million in the 1980’s to 250,000 in 2021.
