The species receives lots of attention because there have been concerns about population numbers related to the destruction of habitat suited to be a food source. This reality can lead discussion of many scientific issues. Since monarchs can be observed close up in gardens and ditches, finding them is a reasonable task. Often students also collect the caterpillars at certain times of the year a watch the caterpillar go through the metamorphosis process to become a butterfly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6916\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/2022\/09\/02\/following-migrations\/screen-shot-2022-09-02-at-4-15-46-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"1108,1464\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM-775x1024.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM-775x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6916\" width=\"661\" height=\"873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM-775x1024.png 775w, https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM-768x1015.png 768w, https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-02-at-4.15.46-PM.png 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took this photo a few days ago walking near my home when I saw several monarchs on this particular flower.
