That some Monarchs migrate has to be because they are genetically programed to do so. They do not learn or voluntarily choose to adopt this lifestyle so yes I would say the migrating Monarch is a subspecies. In any case migrating Monarchs are important piece
of Biodiversity and anything that threatens this Biodiversity is a very bad thing. Aren't we losing enough Biodiversity in the World today because of Human Overpopulation and Overdevelopment as it is?</div>

Are you saying that because they migrate they are a subspecies?<br>
