Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 3: Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Monarch Life Cycle Slide 4: A female monarch lays between 100-300 eggs during her lifetime. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 5: Monarch eggs are oval in shape. Round eggs are other insects. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 6: If you look closely, sometimes you can see the black caterpillar head at the top of the egg shell. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 7: It takes about 4 days for an egg to hatch into a caterpillar. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 8: The first thing a caterpillar does when it hatches is eat its eggshell. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 9: When a caterpillar is born, it is about 1 centimeter in length. The caterpillar will grow to about 5 centimeters. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 10: Caterpillars feed on milkweed. Milkweed is poisonous to other animals, so this protects the caterpillars from predators when they become adults. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 11: When a caterpillar grows, its skin becomes too tight for its body, so the caterpillar must shed its skin. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 12: A caterpillar squeezes, pushes, and tugs as it wiggles out of its old, tight skin. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 13: Then it rubs off its face mask. Even the face mask has become too small for its body! Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 14: After shedding, the caterpillar eats its old skin. The skin is full of vitamins to help it grow. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 15: The caterpillar continues to grow and shed its skin 5 times. It stays a caterpillar for about 2 weeks. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 16: When a caterpillar is ready to turn into chrysalis, it will attach itself to the plant stem with silk and form a j. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 17: The silk button that the caterpillar spins is sticky. It keeps the caterpillar stuck to the stem while it forms its chrysalis. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 18: The chrysalis is formed from the inside out. The caterpillar’s skin first splits open between the head and back. This process continues until the old skin shrivels away. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 19: The j stage, the transformation stage from caterpillar to chrysalis, lasts about 20 hours. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 20: If you look closely at the chrysalis, you can see the wings outline and belly segments of the butterfly “engraved” on the chrysalis shell. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 21: You’ll also notice a gold ring near the top. This is how the monarch butterfly gets its name. “Monarch” means king. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 22: The chrysalis looks green inside and becomes more transparent as the caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. The chrysalis stage lasts about 10 days. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 23: One day before the butterfly hatches, the chrysalis becomes completely clear. You can see the fully formed butterfly sleeping inside. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 24: Bright sunlight triggers hatching. Hatching is a quick process. It only takes 10-15 minutes for a butterfly to hatch. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 25: When its time for hatching, the chrysalis breaks in the middle. The butterfly falls out and grabs the shell with its legs. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 26: Newborn monarchs have one important thing to do…and that’s stretch its wings! In the chrysalis its wings are packed in tight. When they are born their wings look small and folded. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 27: The butterfly uses liquid inside its body to unfold its wings. It pumps the liquid through its veins and the wings unfold. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott BEFORE AFTER Slide 28: At first, the butterfly’s wings are soft. It has to wait several hours for the wings to dry and harden before it can fly. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 29: Butterfly wings are made up of thousands of tiny, overlapping scales. These powdery scales gives butterflies their color and pattern. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 30: Monarchs are brightly colored to warn predators that they are poisonous. Monarchs are poisonous because they ate milkweed as caterpillars. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 31: You can tell if a monarch is a boy or girl by looking at its bottom wings. Boys have a black dot on their lower wings. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott BOY GIRL Slide 32: There are 4 generations of monarchs every year. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 33: First generation monarchs live from March to April. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 34: Second generation monarchs live from May to June. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 35: Third generation monarchs live from July to August. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 36: The first, second, and third generation monarchs only live 2-6 weeks after they hatch from the chrysalis. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 37: The fourth generation of monarchs are born in September and October. They live the longest. They can live 6-8 months! Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 38: These are the monarchs that travel south for the winter. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 39: The fourth generation monarchs travel between 50-100 miles a day. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 40: They fly during the day, and roost at night. Monarchs huddle together to keep warm. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 41: It can take the monarchs up to two months or 3,000 miles to reach their destination. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 42: Monarchs settle in Mexico and California to live during for the winter. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 43: In February and March, the fourth generation lays its eggs and die. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 44: A new generation is born and begins to fly north. It takes 3-4 generations of monarchs to make the flight back to the United States in the Spring. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott Slide 45: The monarchs migration is truly a miracle. They are the only butterflies known to make a two way migration like birds do. Copyright © 2009 Kelly Mott You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
