Doug is back from vacation to show the amazing monarch butterfly's life cycle, from caterpillar to butterfly. Learn about this insect's complete metamorphosis and how they grow and change. Plant milkweed in your garden to attract these wildlife pollinators!
The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most treasured insects in the Western United States. Here is the complete life cycle of this pretty little visitor. From egg to butterfly, the Monarch takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete the transformation. See below for a list of butterfly plants and where to buy them.
