Migrations of Monarch Butterflies

“An excellent article that shows us the monarch butterflies’ migration.” is enough to describe the fantastic article.

Monarch butterflies can not survive the winter like other butterflies. They need migration because their original habitat is too cold for them, and they need to survive by migrating to warmer Mexico.

At night, the monarch butterflies roost. While they roost, they huddle together on the tree. Scientists think it helps them get warm, but with other functions.

Monarch butterflies need milkweed to survive because they lay eggs on the plant, and their caterpillars feed on them, which is why they are poisonous.

In the spring, the butterflies will become active and migrate back up north and east to lay eggs on the leaves of a milkweed plant.
