When autumn approaches in Canada and the northern United Stated (after mid-August), a generation of monarch butterflies called \u201cMethuselah Generation\u201d, which delays its reproduction, is born. This fourth generation of butterflies lives up to nine months, flies from the United States and Canada to Mexico without ever having been there before, in a two-month journey (in early November), and stays there for five more months, mating in spring and returning to their place of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ecological importance and conservation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monarch butterflies become pollinators insect as adults.

To this end, a whole network of spaces in which the caterpillars can feed and the butterflies can drink the nectar of the flowers during the spring and summer has been created. In this way they prepare for reproduction so that when the &#8220;Methuselah&#8221; generation is born it can travel to Mexico.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p>This programme is really important because milkweed grows in areas near crop fields and pastures where pesticides are used and roadsides are cleaned, something that negatively affects monarch butterfly population. This is the reason why the creation of \u201cMonarch Waystations\u201d in private plots, schools, hotels, etc. is such important, as growing and caring milkweed offers a place for monarch butterflies to feed on during their long migratory route.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/espores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/foto3_ok-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Monarch waystation\" class=\"wp-image-55277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/espores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto3_ok-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/espores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto3_ok-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/espores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto3_ok-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/espores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto3_ok-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Space set aside for monarch butterflies at Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Hills Resort &amp; Conference Center (Illinois, USA). \/ C.
