When it comes to pollinators, bees get a lot of the attention. They’re certainly important, with certain crops relying almost exclusively on bee pollination. But with issues such as colony collapse disorder affecting the world’s bee population, some experts are pushing for a greater emphasis on pollinator diversity.

After all, butterflies, moths, birds, bats, and even some lizards all contribute to pollination.

This month, we’d like to highlight an important and well-recognized pollinator: the monarch butterfly.

Monarch butterflies contribute heavily to pollination as they feed from the nectar of numerous flowers. They travel great distances, allowing them to pollinate larger areas than bees.

But just like other pollinators, monarch butterflies have experienced a major decline in the past few decades. In order to reverse this, it’s important to understand their life cycle.
