Their wings are weak and fragile at first. Maybe their wings are like that
because they have not flown for awhile or for very long. And when they fly
for a month or so, the wings get stronger. It's important to note about the
condition of their wings because if they get weaker, more die before getting
up north, and I want them to survive.

I would explain the mystery by stating that the butterflies have just been
born. The condition of the butterfly tells me how long they have been
traveling. It's important to note the sightings so people can help them keep
their wings in good condition.

The monarchs have healed quickly because of certain hormones. The wings tell
you that predators nipped at them or that there was bad weather where they
had been earlier.

It is important to note the condition of butterfly wings, because the wings
may affect their ability to fly. The lower part of the butterfly's wings
probably control whether it flies up or down. If that particular part is
damaged, the butterfly might hit a tree or not be able to fly at all.
