Monarch Butterfly

Monarch butterflies are the only butterflies known to make a back-and-forth migration similar to what birds do. They can’t survive the winters, so monarchs from our region of the country (upper Midwest) head south to Mexico (the Sierra Madre Mountains) around the October timeframe. This Monarch was captured in flight last September as it flitted from flower to flower drinking up as much nectar as it could before its big journey.
