Mariposa Monarca

Uno de los insectos migratorios mas notables del mundo, las mariposas monarca realizan migraciones de ida y vuelta de varias generaciones de hasta 4.800 km entre las areas de cria en el norte de America del Norte y los sitios de hibernacion en los bosques de montana de Mexico. Sus brillantes alas naranja y negro advierten a los depredadores de su toxicidad, derivada de las plantas de algodonillo que consumen como orugas. Amenazada, las poblaciones invernantes han disminuido mas del 80% desde la decada de 1990 debido a la perdida del habitat del algodonillo, los pesticidas y el cambio climatico.
