ENT 532 (2024): Monarch butterfly

This brightly-colored Monarch butterfly (Nymphalidae) was seen fluttering gracefully between Zinnias flowers. Its wings displayed a stunning mosaic of orange, black, and white patterns, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the green backdrop. The butterfly frequently paused to feed on nectar, using its long proboscis. How does its activity contribute to pollination, and could changes in the flower composition or blooming periods affect its population?
