Have you noticed how everything transforms the moment you step away from buildings, roads, and screens and immerse yourself in nature? Instantly, all your worries disappear, and you get an immense feeling of joy and happiness. Do you know the secret behind this? Honestly, I have thought about it and realized that it’s because nature offers us precious gifts at every turn: vibrant flowers that fill the air with sweet aromas, playful birds that create a symphony of freedom all around, majestic trees that whisper breathtaking stories of time, and so much more. How fortunate we are to have the honor of enjoying these wonders!

I would like to share the story of one remarkable gift that continues to remain a mystery for scientists: the iconic monarch butterfly. With two pairs of exquisite black-and-orange wings, these unique creatures are one of the largest butterflies in Canada, with a wingspan of about 63 to 105mm. Each butterfly weighs a mere half gram, so light that you might not even notice if it decides to rest on your arm. But what makes these delicate insects so extraordinary?
