The Various, also known as the Common European Adder, is a venomous snake found across Europe and Asia. It thrives in diverse habitats, from woodlands to grasslands. Notable for its zigzag pattern along its back, it plays a crucial role in controlling rodent populations.

Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

Monarch butterflies are native to North and South America. They are primarily found in temperate and tropical environments, with their range extending from southern Canada through the United States to Central America and northern South America. During the winter, large populations migrate to specific areas in California and central Mexico.

Monarchs predominantly inhabit open fields, meadows, and grasslands where milkweed plants, their host plants for larval stages, are abundant. They are also found in forests during migration, particularly in overwintering sites like the oyamel fir forests in Mexico. The species has adapted to various climates, but they require environments where milkweed grows for breeding. Monarchs play a crucial role in pollination and serve as prey for birds and other predators, contributing to the ecological balance in their habitats.
