      Stained glass monarch butterfly is one of the brightest items of decor for window. And there is obviously the reason why it happens. Today everything will become clear. 

      The meaning of monarch butterfly in the world

      For centuries a monarch butterfly has been the perfect metaphor of spiritual growth and transformation. However, to understand the symbolic meaning of these beautiful creatures at a full-scale basis, you should better learn about the background of monarch butterflies. 

      Metamorphosis is the name of the transformation each butterfly goes through. This process includes huge changes. At first, a butterfly is an egg. Out of the egg hatches a caterpillar, which is also called lavra. The monarch caterpillar is bright and beautiful. Its colours are yellow, black and white. Besides, the caterpillar is vertically striped. An interesting fact is that this special colouring serves as a kind of a protective thing for each small monarch butterfly. To make it clearer, many predators instinctively know that the combination of yellow, black and white colours means that such insects might be poisonous. So, while the butterfly is in the phase of being a caterpillar, its main task is to eat and become, so to say, stronger. They eat only one thing and that is milkweed, and it is also the place where the butterfly mom lays the eggs on. 

      The next step in the process of monarch butterfly’s metamorphosis is called chrysalis, or in other words a pupa stage. To enter this stage each caterpillar has to spin its protective cases around itself. And already several weeks or sometimes a month later, a tiny-tiny caterpillar comes to the last stage of the long metamorphosis and emerges as an adult exceptionally attractive monarch butterfly of black and orange colouring. Even after that, they do not stop. If a monarch butterfly emerged in spring or the beginning of summer, it would start the process of next generation reproducing just within several days. In its turn, those who were born in the late summer or fall know that they have to migrate to the places with a warmer climate, because of the upcoming winter period.

      To predict your questions, I will tell you why monarch butterflies always know where to head, they exactly know where to migrate in the winter period. The answer is very very simple! These eye-catching insects use the sun to stay in course. It is of a high importance to mention that if they travel during cloudy days, monarch butterflies have an inner magnetic compass, which also helps them to get to warmer places. 

      Now, when you see that each exquisite butterfly comes through the long process of becoming who it is supposed to be, and then it also faces some obstacles and has to overcome it, monarch butterflies continue pleasing us with its beauty and reminding that nothing is impossible and that the main challenge we face in life is to find the inner peace and harmony.
