According to Wikipedia, the monarch butterfly is likely the most well-known of all North American butterflies.  It has an easily recognizable orange and black pattern. They are one of the few insects that are able to make transatlantic crossings--monarch butterflies have been found as far away as part of the United Kingdom, and also dwell in Bermuda and New Zealand. They are foul-tasting to birds and other predators due to poisons left in their bodies from feeding on milkweed as caterpillars. This specimen block features a Monarch butterfly beautifully mounted for display or for use under a microscope. Comes with an included gift box, making it a great gift for the holidays or birthdays.
