Orange, rust and subtle shades of grey glass are blended to form the familiar pattern of a Monarch Butterfly’s wings. The colors were selected to closely match the male of the species.

The interior elements and glass casing are 30% recycled materials.

The name “Monarch” was first published in 1874 by Samuel Scudder because “it is one of the largest butterflies and rules a vast domain.”

The length of Monarch migrations exceeds their lifespan (two months) requiring several generations to complete.

Monarch’s are capable of transatlantic crossings and are now common in Bermuda, Great Britain, and New Zealand.
