Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) are one of the world's most recognizable butterfly species, famed for their beautiful orange and black wings and astonishing long-distance journey across North America. Because of their beauty and fascinating life cycle, many people want to keep them as pets. However, unlike common pets such as dogs, cats, or even tiny reptiles, monarch butterflies have specific care needs and ethical considerations that must be considered before electing to raise them at home.

This book will look at whether monarchs may legitimately be called pets in the usual sense, as well as the ethical concerns of maintaining and raising them. Raising monarch butterflies may be an instructive and gratifying experience, but it must be done carefully and with conservation in mind.
