The length of these journeys far exceeds the lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n\n\nMetamorphosis\nThe life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks.

Looks like a female golden crowned kinglet to me.  Scientific name is Regulus satrapa.

Which tree are you talking about ? Did they just recently spray it to kill the bugs ? I wouldn't marry from any family if I didn't know the members of that family, you have to know one, at least.\n  Do you want to know the meaning of a normal tree, a king tree, and a family tree ? Too much for now, maybe when I have a little more time.

Rainforests are extremely important in the ecology of the Earth. The plants of the rainforest generate much of the Earth's oxygen. These plants are also very important to people in other ways; many are used in new drugs that fight disease and illness. Scientists divide the rainforest into strata (zones) based on the living environment. Starting at the top, the strata are: \nEMERGENTS: Giant trees that are much higher than the average canopy height. It houses many birds and insects. \nCANOPY: The upper parts of the trees. This leafy environment is full of life in a tropical rainforest and includes: insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, and more. \nUNDERSTORY: A dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. \nFOREST FLOOR: Teeming with animal life, especially insects. The largest animals in the rainforest generally live here. \nIt is almost always raining in a rainforest. Rainforests get over 80 inches (2 m) of rain each year. This is about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of rain each week. \n\nThe rain is more evenly distributed throughout the year in a tropical rainforest (even though there is a little seasonality). In a temperate rainforest, there are wet and dry seasons. During the "dry" season, coastal fog supplies abundant moisture to the forest. \n\nThe temperature in a rainforest never freezes and never gets very hot. The range of temperature in a tropical rainforest is usually between 75° F and 80° F (24-27° C). Temperate rainforests rarely freeze or get over 80° F (27° C). \nThere are many indigenous groups of people who have live in the tropical rainforests. Many of these groups, like the Yanomamo tribe of the Amazon rainforests of Brazil and southern Venezuela, have lived in scattered villages in the rainforests for hundreds or thousands of years. These tribes get their food, clothing, and housing mainly from materials they obtain in the forests. \n\nForest people are mostly hunter-gatherers; they get their food by hunting for meat (and fishing for fish) and gathering edible plants, like starchy roots and fruit. Many also have small gardens in cleared areas of the forest. Since the soil in the rainforest is so poor, the garden areas must be moved after just a few years, and another part of the forest is cleared. \n\nMost indigenous populations are declining. There are many reasons for this. Their primary problems are disease (like smallpox and measles, which were inadvertently introduced by Europeans) and governmental land seizure.\nTropical rainforests cover about 7% of the Earth's surface and are VERY important to the Earth's ecosystem. The rainforests recycle and clean water. Tropical rainforest trees and plants also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their roots, stems, leaves, and branches. Rainforests affect the greenhouse effect, which traps heat inside the Earth's atmosphere. \nSome of the foods that were originally from rainforests around the world include cashew nuts, Brazil nuts, Macadamia nuts, bananas, plantains, pineapple, cucumber, cocoa (chocolate), coffee, tea, avocados, papaya, guava, mango, cassava (a starchy root), tapioca, yams, sweet potato, okra, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, mace, ginger, cayenne pepper, cloves, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, passion fruit, peanuts, rice, sugar cane, and coconuts (mostly from coastal areas). \n\n\nThe Wealth of the Rainforests \n\n\nThe Amazon Rainforest covers over a billion acres, encompassing areas in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia and the Eastern Andean region of Ecuador and Peru. If Amazonia were a country, it would be the ninth largest in the world. \n\nThe Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest. \n\nMore than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants,

The question is not clear. Are you refering to ecological sub-systems with the rainforest?\nRainforests are the most complex of ecosystems, both in terms of structural complexity (several vertical layers, etc.) and in terms of interelationships and functions. \nSome of the sub-systems of the rainforest (although there is no clear separation between them) are the canopy, the underbrush, and the leaf litter levels. All of those are disturbed (destroyed, more likely) by deforestation. All the arboreal habitats just disappear, to be replaced (more or less slowly) by secondary-growth forest, which is much thicker and comprises different species (mostly opportunist species that grow rapidly once a clearing opens); and the leaf litter system (comprising most of the detritivore food web) is also destroyed because the ground level is exposed to direct sunlight and evaporation, as well as the erosive effects of rain.

It depends on the place of the planet where the tropical rain forest is located.  I am from Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and the biggest plants on that tropical rain forest are Almendros, Caobas and Cedros beside a lot of differents ones that nobody knows the names.  In English?? I dont know...

They go to the trees and hide in the leaves.  Butterflies can get wet, and they can get cold, but cold and wet will kill them.

None of them- Tropical rain forests tend to have very poor, shallow soil, but a high variety of trees, plants, and lifeforms, with a great deal of diversity.  So for the first chioce, yes it has a dence layer of plants, but it does not have dense thick soil\nFor the second, it does have many species of animals and poor soil quality, but it also has many species of trees\nand for the third, yes, it has year-round warmth and moisture, but the animals and plants are not 'very similar" (a phrase I dont really understand-similar to what?)

In the case of the monarch butterfly:\n\nThese dots are made of specialized scales that, in some butterflies, emit a chemical used in courtship. Even though this chemical does not appear to be important in monarch courtship, the males still have the spots. The spots are much larger on close relatives of monarchs.\n\nAlthough I did find this on another website:\n\nSome species have developed eye-spots on their wings to resemble the vertebrate eye, sometimes set in a field of bright colour to further advertise them.  Some flash these only when disturbed to flight, while others rest with the eye-spots exposed.  The eye-spots are known to intimidate small, insect-eating birds to avoid attack, but this seems to work best at the first encounter, with birds learning quickly not to be put off.
