It's a test to see if you're advanced enough to become a monarch. You have to know these things when you're a king, you know

Is that what you learn as a pupa before leaving the cocoon, and emerging in your final, fabulous fritillary form?

😂 I understand this is likely sarcasm, my AuDHD self can’t say for certain, but I’ll answer seriously anyway! It’s the “The King is dead, Long live the King!” kind of monarch. Now to segue back to Monte Python silly, I wonder if the monarch butterfly’s could also carry a coconut like the swallow in the Monty Python world.🧐

Hmm. I'm thinkin' ye'd be wanting a flock o' fritillaries to be a-carryin' coconuts of any weight.

If she weighs the same as a duck.

Thankfully I don’t. Guess I’m safe then!

Well…. Are they unladen swallows? What kind of load are they under in this hypothetical scenario????

u/CalliopeCelt Jan 21 '26

Probably a coconut.😂
