    Monarch migrational patterns depend on where they live.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_%28butterfly%29#Migration
    Monarch butterflies are one of the few insects capable of making trans-Atlantic crossings. They are becoming more common in Bermuda due to increased usage of milkweed as an ornamental plant in flower gardens. Monarch butterflies born in Bermuda remain year round due to the island's mild climate. A few monarchs turn up in the far southwest of Great Britain in years when the wind conditions are right, and have been sighted as far east as Long Bennington. In Australia, Monarchs make limited migrations in cooler areas,[3] but the Blue Tiger butterfly is better known in Australia for its lengthy migration.[4] Monarchs can also be found in New Zealand. On the islands of Hawaii no migrations have been noted.

    DuE i know it was a joke but the "when" of pupation is controlled by time-regulated gene expression OR genetic response to stimuli (temperature, food reserves, etc)

    like i said, one of the big theories is that it just kind of...happens

    it is intrinsic to the hardware, but not regulated by it, if that makes sense
