- Fall migration map.
- No other butterflies migrate like the Monarchs of North America. They travel farther than all other tropical butterflies, up to three thousand miles.
- Monarch butterflies cannot survive a long cold winter. Instead, they spend the winter in roosting spots. Monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains travel to small groves of trees along the California coast. Those east of the Rocky Mountains fly farther south to the forests high in the mountains of Mexico.
- Visit the Monarch Watch sponsored by the University of Kansas Entomology Program for details on Monarch biology and conservation. Tips on gardening to attract butterflies, including Monarchs, available HERE
