We think that we have some answers to Challenge Question #10. We
think that monarch butterflies to to eastern and southern parts of the
United States for a few reasons.
1) There are deserts and the Rocky Mountains in the western part of
the United States. There would be very little amounts of water and not many
trees for shelter and not many flowers for food. Maybe there are no
milkweed plants either.
2) They wouldn't go straight north now because it is too cold to
survive. Some kids are mapping the tulips and tulips aren't there either,
so then there probably wouldn't be any other flowers for the nectar for
food.
3) The wind and weather mostly go east. The butterflies don't want
to fight the wind by flying against the wind. So they can keep their energy
if they fly the way that the wind is going.
