Monarch butterflies lifespan has been underestimated, with new research showing they can live up to nine months, not just two to six weeks. This extended life cycle, particularly in the overwintering generation, is crucial for their migration patterns. The discovery, made through advanced tracking and genetic analysis, highlights the need for conservation efforts to consider the entire life cycle, not just the breeding season.
