MONARCHS - THE BUTTERFLY , NOT a KING

This vintage educational film takes you into the fascinating world of the Monarch butterfly—from the miracle of metamorphosis to the long migrations that span thousands of miles. Students learn how these delicate insects transform from tiny caterpillars into winged wonders, gliding across North America in one of nature’s greatest survival stories.

And just to be clear—when we say Monarchs, we mean butterflies, not kings, queens, or royal rulers. These Monarchs don’t wear crowns, but their orange-and-black wings make them just as majestic! 🦋👑
