| Why
Don't We Have a Billion Butterflies?
A single
monarch butterfly can lay hundreds of eggs. For example, in Dr.
Edson's lab one monarch laid 326 eggs in 2007 and another monarch
laid 758 eggs in 2006. That was a record!
What
would happen if every egg survived? Let's
see how many monarch generations it would take to reach a billion
butterflies.
