Here comes spring. Butterflies are flying happily! Monarch butterflies(帝王蝶) are not happy. Whats wrong with them? Let Angela the monarch butterfly tell you.

We are sad because most of our family members are missing(消失的). There is less and less milkweed(乳草科植物) for us.

Milkweed is a kind of plant. It is the only food for monarch butterflies when they are still babies.

Most of monarch butterflies live in North America(北美洲). Some live in other places like Australia and India(印度).

In summer, monarch butterflies live in the US and Canada. They fly south(向南) to Mexico(墨西哥) for winter.

When its spring, they fly back to the north. Only a few butterflies finish the whole(整個的) trip. Many lay eggs(产卵) along the way and die.

The monarch butterfly is the “king” of all butterflies. They are large and beautiful.

People are helping to save(拯救) monarch butterflies. Some turn their garden into a butterfly garden. Wen Wen is one of them. She is a 9-year-old girl from the US. She grows milkweed in her garden and raises(喂养) monarch butterflies.

★There are about 14,000 kinds of butterflies in the world. There are 1,200 kinds in China.

★Butterflies taste(尝味道) with their feet.
