Description
This monarch butterfly was photographed in Chateauguay, Quebec, Canada in the late summer. It is feeding off a pink butterfly bush flower spike.
“The number of monarchs that overwinter in Mexico is far below what they were in past years: There has been a decline of more than 80% over the past 20 years. Two decades ago, the butterflies occupied as many as 44 acres of trees, according to Monarch Watch.
In addition to bad weather, illegal logging and habitat destruction are the main threats to the butterflies, according to Rickards. “But how many monarch butterflies arrive to hibernate to the mountains of Mexico depend on how many can survive during their migration route in the United States, Canada and Mexico,†he said.
Increased use of herbicides in the U.S. have hurt the prevalence of milkweed, which monarch caterpillars feed on, risking their survival, the Associated Press said.
“We could lose the monarch butterfly if we don’t take immediate action to rein in pesticide use and curb global climate change,†said Tierra Curry, a senior scientist with the Center for Biological Diversity.
A 2016 study by the U.S. Geological Survey concluded that because of ongoing low population levels, there is an 11% to 57% risk that the eastern monarch migration could collapse within the next 20 years." (from USA Today)
