These are a part of the Nymphalidae family and mainly evolve from the dead leaf butterfly into the Maple-Glider. These are normally found in Canada, and it is rare to find these species in the United States. There are multiple reasons why they are in the United States, and there are 3 key factors: migration, ecocide, or getting lost during mating season.

Their life cycle is special because during mating season, the female will only choose a Maple-Glider if it has a bigger wingspan. Once the male and female finish mating, they will separate, and the female will choose a specific tree, which is a maple tree, and lay her eggs. The eggs will grow in 3–5 weeks, and once the babies hatch, the mother will quickly shield them with her wings and escort them to nearby leafs. Once they are at the leafs, the mother will stay with them until the larvae grow into small Maple-Gliders and can fly on their own.

The Maple-Glider species is kind of defenseless because their wingspan allows them to hide, but one major downside is that they cannot fly. So, according to their name, they have to glide, and if one falls to the ground by accident, they have to run using their 12 legs to get back to the tree before they are spotted. Their natural predators are honey badgers, birds of all kinds, wolves, and coyotes. They normally spend their lives hiding until mating season. The only times they leave their position are to flee from predators, get water and food, and, of course, during mating season.

Another thing to note is the big patch of setae near their heads. The setae are very crucial for Maple-Glider survival because they help store food (which is pollination), act like sensory receptors for nearby predators, and prevent Maple-Gliders from freezing to death.

So this was the Maple-Glider. I hope you guys enjoyed it!

Its veeery normal in these books, am I right?
