Butterfly migration

Butterfly migration is the seasonal movement of certain butterfly species, like monarchs, from one region to another, typically to find suitable breeding or wintering sites. These journeys can cover hundreds or thousands of miles, guided by environmental cues such as temperature, daylight, and land features. During migration, butterflies travel in groups and often rest along the way to refuel. This behavior ensures their survival through changing seasons, allowing them to reproduce and maintain their populations in favorable habitats when conditions improve.
