Monarch butterflies are iconic for their striking orange and black wings and their incredible long-distance migration. Every year, millions of these butterflies embark on a journey of up to 3,000 miles from North America to their overwintering grounds in Mexico and California. This multi-generational migration is a truly remarkable feat of nature.

Monarchs rely on milkweed plants as their sole food source during their larval stage, and the loss of milkweed habitat due to agriculture and development is a major threat to their survival. Their populations have been declining in recent years, making conservation efforts crucial to ensure these beautiful creatures continue to grace our skies.
