Long live the thing

Did you know …

That each monarch butterfly is technically the king or queen of its own flower? It’s true!

In practical terms, what does this mean? Almost nothing. After all, what’s a butterfly going to do if you eat or smash its kingdom? Again, almost nothing. Don’t feel too bad if this happens, though. Monarchs regularly issue infamously oppressive edicts, and line their own pockets with their subjects’ taxes. Maybe they deserve a little regicide now and then.
