Autumn Season Board: Monarch

Of course we had to cover the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)! Unfortunately, we didn't see a caterpillar this year, but we have seen some flying around the yard. Always a great insect to use to talk about life cycles.

We got a really cool kit from our local library that went over butterfly life cycles. So, don't forget that local libraries are a free and totally awesome resource!
