The Great Migration of Monarch Butterflies
Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies begin an amazing journey. They fly thousands of miles from Canada and the United States to warmer climates in Mexico and California. This trip is called a migration. Monarchs are the only insects known to migrate such long distances. They travel about 50 to 100 miles per day! They use the sun to help them find their way.
During their migration, monarchs need to find places to rest and feed. They often stop in areas with lots of milkweed plants, even though they mostly feed on nectar from other flowers during migration. The milkweed is important because it is where female monarchs lay their eggs in the spring and summer. The caterpillars that hatch from these eggs eat milkweed leaves. Without milkweed, monarch butterflies could not survive.
