 It took watching this Monarch from the mom laying the egg, egg hatching to caterpillar, caterpillar forming it's chrysalis, butterfly coming out of the chrysalis, and drying it's wings, and moving to a nectar plant and spreading its wings before we could tell if it was a male or female. The two dots on the hind wing prove it is a male. The females have broader strip/band, but no dots in this area. That is the only way we can identify their sex. Hope you enjoyed the series.
