Taking a stroll along the beach at this time of year, you will likely encounter various butterfly species, but particularly the Monarch.
Monarch butterflies are considered to be a Species at Risk in Canada, mainly due to the loss of their habitat throughout North America.
Through the summer there are two, possibly three, generations raised in Ontario. The life cycle from egg to adult can take only a month, however, most large butterflies take about 45 days. The generations that emerge in late summer and autumn are somehow triggered to become migratory.
Monarch caterpillars ingest toxins (cardenolides) from milkweeds that make them, and the butterflies they develop into, unpalatable to most birds and other vertebrates.
Wildflowers, which are particularly prevalent in abandoned farmlands and roadsides, are used as nectar sources by the adult butterflies and are also an important component of Monarch habitats. They are especially important during the fall migration, when sugars obtained from nectar are converted to the fat that is essential for the butterflies to complete their migration and overwinter successfully. Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), and Swamp Milkweed (A. incarnata) are both key plants for the Monarch, and these plants are abundant along Lake Huron, particularly in dunes. The milkweeds, goldenrods (Solidago) and asters (Aster), as well as Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), are the nectar sources used most frequently by Monarchs.… continue reading »
