 Monarch Butterfly Day 
 About This Date June 19
Source unknown

No other butterflies migrate like the monarchs of North America. They can travel up to 2,000 miles as they fly to Mexico or California for the winter. Those hatched in the fall live 8-9 months to make this long trip both ways. As caterpillars, they only eat plants in the milkweed family, but the adult monarchs drink nectar from many different kinds of flowers. Nectar contains sugar, which serves as their main energy source. Plant some flowers at your house, and they might show up.  

Reflection
The butterfly is a symbol of Resurrection
Because it begins its life as a caterpillar and
Transformed into an entirely different creature- a butterfly.
In a similar way, our human life becomes transformed into risen life. crsrİ
