Description

Monarch butterfly (in English: Monarch butterfly) with the scientific name (in Latin: Danaus plexippus) is a type of butterfly. This butterfly is a member of the family of ferns.The Shahriar butterfly migrates from the Rocky Mountains to Mexico every year. This butterfly is the state insect of Texas.More than 100 million of these butterflies spend the winter sleeping on the trees of the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico. The leaves and branches of the trees like a blanket keep these butterflies, which are stuck together, warm. These butterflies cover the surface of these trees in such a way that they look like the leaves of the tree from a distance. As the weather warms up and the temperature reaches 13 degrees, millions of these butterflies start their journey, and during this journey, they are looking for a special exclusive flower called milkweed to lay their eggs in. It is at the same time as this plant grows.Many of these beautiful butterflies travel more than 4,500 kilometers from Mexico to the United States and Canada, but since their lifespan is only two months, it will take three generations of these beautiful butterflies to complete this long journey. Millions of Shahyar butterflies create spectacular scenery during their migration season by flying in groups in the sky and sitting in groups on the branches of old trees.According to ISNA, wildlife experts consider the migration of these butterflies as a factor to prove the evolution of insects, because in their migration, a fragile organism is able to fly a distance of about 10 thousand kilometers to escape from bad weather conditions. But now Shahyar's butterflies have become another symbol. One of the oldest and most flexible species in the world, which may soon become extinct due to climate change.The life cycle of these butterflies is driven by the search for optimal conditions. The ideal conditions for migration are temperatures between 55 and 70 degrees Celsius, a little rainfall during winters and a large amount of tree sap during reproduction, none of these conditions exist in a stable state anymore.Summer temperatures are already on the rise in the American Midwest, sap is drying up in Texas, and rare winter storms are regularly hitting central Mexico.According to American experts, one billion butterflies were lost between 1990 and 2015. Because more than 95 percent of the insect population migrates widely to a few small patches of Mexican forest, a hurricane or heat wave can effectively wipe out their population. This almost happened in 2002 and a winter storm killed about 75% of the population of butterflies in Shahriar.According to the Washington Post, the United Nations reported this year that a million species of plants and animals face possible extinction "in the next few decades," much of it due to climate change. Shahryar's butterflies are also considered one of these one million species.
