These insects are distinguished by their striking orange and black wing patterns. Monarchs are not only a delight to behold but also play critical roles in ecosystems, acting as pollinators for a variety of flowering plants. Despite their resilience, monarch populations are facing threats from habitat destruction and climate change, making conservation efforts critical. Their dependence on milkweed plants for breeding makes the preservation of these plants vital for their survival.
