You became a huge expert on butterflies, that's great! Did you find any iridiscent butterfly, such as this:? http://creationontheweb.com/images/fp_articles/2008/6156butterfly.jpg They're beautiful, and change colors depending on how you look at them... Not sure if there is any in Brazil, so you'll have to tell me! I'll think about you and your Beautiful Butterfly every time I see an orange one! Kiss! Diego Thanks Bella for such a wonderful work!

I learned so much. That's amazing that some are so large, while others so tiny. I know what you mean about drowning them. OOPS! We use to get around 50 to 100 Monarchs each August when we lived in the country. They were especially attracted to one plant in the front yard. Now, I realize they might have liked it because it was in full sun and I'm sure it would have provided a good spot to rest and warm up. It also had fluffy booms on it that might have provided food for them. Keep up the good work. Tell everyone "Hello" from me in Kansas.

Those are awesome butterflies. I was walking down the hall in our house in Walnut Creek, and in between the cracks of our wall and the carpet, I found a little caterpillar and my brother had just got a bug cage for Christmas. So I went outside and picked some leaves and put them in the cage, and put the caterpillar inside. And then I saw if he would eat it. He had crawled over to the leaves and took some bites out of them, and then my mom called me, so I had to go. About 5 days later, it had turned into a brown chrysalis. I checked on it every day after school, and about 3 weeks later, after school I went to check on him, and at first, I saw this wing, then I saw its whole body. It was a moth. I looked around the cage and there was an empty chrysalis. After awhile, I let the moth go. Gianna Hi Bella,

I recently watched a documentary about the migration of Monarchs from Canada to Mexico. It is an amazing, multigenerational migration which takes the butterflies over 2000 miles. There are many different routes, but one of the most spectacular brings all the butterflies to a small area of forest in Mexico. Here is some more information about the monarch migration: http://www.michoacanmonarchs.org/Migration(1).htm I think the transition of caterpillar to butterfly is one of the most amazing, mysterious natural wonder!
