  2. Introduction • Since the 19th century, the Monarch Butterfly has been found in the country New Zealand. Its wings feature is easily recognized by its orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 centimetres. We identify the male and female butterflies by its size. The male butterfly has a spot  in the center of each hind wing the spot is called androconium.

  3. Description • The upper side of the wingsare tawny orange, the veins and margins are black. The margins are two series of small white spots. The fore wings also have a few orange spots near the tip. The underside of the butterfly’s wings is similar but the tip of the fore wing and the hind wing are yellow-brown instead of tawny orange. The white spots are larger.

  4. Habitat • The Monarch butterflies can be found at places such as fields, meadows, suburban parks, gardens, trees, and even roadsides.

  5. Threats • Recent illegal deforestation of the monarch’s overwintering grounds have led to a drastic reduction in the butterfly's population. Efforts to classify it as a protected species and to restore its habitat are under way.
