Monarch butterflies are soooo amazing! Monarchs are not only one of the most beautiful butterflies, they also migrate further than any other insect. They are often referred to as the “International Traveler”, migrating from southern Canada to Mexico. What makes their migration even more amazing is that they go to the same small sites each year, even though none have ever made the trip before! Join John Klein to learn more about the monarch butterfly and how you can help monitor and provide habitat for them.
