This video provides a brief synopsis of the metamorphic cycle of the Monarch Butterfly. This butterfly is in serious decline and is under evaluation by the US Fish and Wildlife Service for designation as a "threatened species" under the US Endangered Species Act. The background music is one of Frederic Chopin's most beautiful solo piano works, the "Butterfly Etude".
May we all strive to protect this beautiful creature for future generations.
