MONARCH MIGRATION
By Vicki Rath

Migration can be defined as the movement of an animal from the place where it lives to a new place later returning to its original home.

Monarchs encounter few obstacles on their migration taking advantage of the air currents and warm daytime temperatures. Cooler evening temperatures require the butterflies to swarm in the trees for the evening. Each butterfly needs certain warmth in order for them to fly.    more
