Females are typically darker than males and lack the black scent glands seen on the males' hindwings. With a wingspan of about 3.5 to 4 inches, they are known for their graceful flight.\nMonarchs are native to North America but are found across Central and South America, Australia, and other regions due to migration and human introduction. They famously undertake long-distance migrations, travelling thousands of miles between their breeding grounds in Canada and the United States and their overwintering sites in Mexico and California.\nThe name \"Danaus\" comes from Greek mythology, and \"plexippus\" refers to a mythological Greek hero. A fascinating curiosity is their toxicity; as caterpillars, they feed on milkweed, making them poisonous to predators—a trait retained into adulthood.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they protect the rainforest where they fly and develop responsible, conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
