Monarch Butterfly

           When I was reading my book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, I knew about  Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, which in 2008 was declared heritage of humanity. It was created for preserving the enviroment where monarch butterfly lives. This kind of butterfly is well-known by its annual migration, that doesn´t occur in another insect in the world. The butterfly comes to this area to hibernate, then flies north, while traveling it deposits her eggs, which when become in a butterfly, also travel north like continuing along the route. Because the temperature changes produced in late summer, occur a behavior change in butterflies adults who  return to the South. The journey is longer than the life cycle of a butterfly, so there are organizations responsible for studying this phenomenon: how new monarch butterfly is guided. Nowadays the reserve is being afectaed by illegal logging.

          Ancient Aztecs believed that warriors were reincarnated in monarch butterflies that shined with the battle colors
