About the Migration
Every year, millions of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) embark on an incredible journey spanning thousands of miles. These magnificent insects travel from the northern reaches of Canada and the United States to overwintering sites in central Mexico.
Why Do They Migrate?
Monarch butterflies migrate to escape the cold temperatures of northern climates where their food sources, primarily milkweed, become sparse during winter. The monarchs head to locations where the environment is more conducive to their survival and reproduction.
