The Monarch, Danaus plexippus, is more easily recognized butterfly in Ohio and is found in all 88 counties. It is most commonly seen in late summer but, can be seen as early as May. Hundreds of thousands migrate to Mexico in the fall to the Monarch wintering grounds. Fall adults can live more than 10 months, making it the longest-lived butterfly in Ohio. Monarch larva, like pictured above, feed on various varies of milkweed. The adults can't resist sampling butterfly bush and butterfly weed! Come in and ask for our butterfly plant list!
