Monarchs, e.g. are a type of butterfly that is known for its distinctive orange and black wings. They are found in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa. Monarchs are known for their long migrations, often traveling thousands of miles to reach their wintering grounds. They are also important pollinators, helping to spread pollen from one plant to another. Monarchs are considered an iconic species, and their populations have been declining in recent years due to habitat loss and other environmental factors.
