Monarch Butterflies

Butterflies are beautiful creatures with delicate, colorful wings that flutter through the air. But did you know that some butterflies travel long distances, and this migration is done every year? Monarch butterflies are one of the most famous migrating butterflies. In the summer, they live in northern United States and in Canada. But in the winter, they fly all the way to Mexico! This is a very long journey for such a small creature, but the monarchs amazingly always find their way back. Monarch butterflies start their migration in the fall. They fly south as a group, using the sun’s position in the sky to help them navigate during their migration. They also use landmarks, such as mountains and rivers, to help them find their way.

They are lovely and it’s amazing they travel such long distances every year. (I’d fly south for the winter too, if I could 😉) Interesting info, Sandee. Happy Wednesday and thanks for hosting WW! 🌹
I hear you about finding the warmer weather. Happy WW and rest of the week, Debbie. Thanks for playing along. 🙂
I find that every time I see a butterfly it makes me instantly smile…..they look so beautiful and “busy” as they fly around our landscape.
Hugs, Pam
They make me smile too. We saw one in our yard a couple of days ago. So beautiful. 🙂
They are so beautiful and they sure do have a long trip!
They sure do. So precious. Scritches to handsome Duke. 🙂
They sure are beautiful. That’s such a long distance to travel for something so small
They are most smart. They are most beautiful and they are most treasured. 🙂
Truly amazing, Glad to know about this.
It’s most amazing indeed. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
It is amazing what species can do without any technology and without a brain like a human. They are so beautiful too.
Sometimes I think they are way smarter than we are. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the precious pups. 🙂
Monarchs are truly amazing! 🦋
Hard to believe such tiny wings can carry them all the way from Canada to Mexico every year.
Nature is full of wonders.
Nature is indeed full of wonders. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Veronica. Hugs. 🙂
Monarchs are great .They breed in my garden. Love the pictures.
Bless you for letting them do that. It’s so important. 🙂
I have always loved monarchs. My WW is also about an amazing creature in nature. Thanks for your post – and your invitation to link. Enjoy your day!
You’re most welcome Betty. It’s good to have you in the mix. Enjoy your day and the rest of the week. 🙂
They are beautiful, and amazing they can make that long trip. Thanks for the tidbits, Sandee, and Happy Wednesday. 🦋
They are most smart. Very beautiful, too. Happy WW and rest of the week, Eugenia. Love and hugs. 🙂
Hugs backatcha, Sandee! 💕
One of the most amazing of life around us, but, sadl, I fear for them. I saw perhaps two last year. We are taking steps to increase their numbers and I only hope it isn’t too late. They are amazing and beautiful. Alana ramblinwitham
I fear for them too. We must care of our amazing butterflies. 🙂
I THINK I saw ONE the other day, not sure. we don’t have our normal butterflies and I miss them.. the Red Admirals I really miss because if I stand still they land on me
Butterflies are most beautiful and amazing. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you and scritches to Beau. 🙂
Love those butterflies 🦋
We do too, Crystal. Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. 🙂
They are beautiful, and it is amazing that such a small creature can make such a journey.
I didn’t miss posting this week. When I realised I had forgotten again I went straight on and scheduled for this week. Hopefully next week too!
I found it most amazing too. Thank you for playing along this week. I always enjoy your travels. Love and hugs. 🙂
Seems they’re smarter than many humans in navigation! (But are there any “rest stops” along the way?)
They sure are smarter. Beautiful creatures. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
We don’t see very many of them up here anymore, but they are beautiful.
They are indeed. We have them here all spring and summer long. 🙂
They are so pretty!
They are indeed. Happy WW and rest of the week. Scritches to all the precious kitties. 🙂
They come around our house a lot!
Same here and I’m happy about it. So precious. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I watched a documentary that talked about monarch butterflies and the journey they make. It’s amazing what these beauties can do.
It sure is and I didn’t know how far they travel each year. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
ohhhh yes tis the season for the Winged beauties to return…in all their glory.
Recently I learned the audiologist at my ENT is getting married in June at the Duke (University) gardens
in the butterfly house that is inside the botanical area. How magical
hugs cecilia
It is the season. I would love to see that butterfly house. How magical indeed. Love and hugs to you and Kit and scritches to the kitties. 🙂
We used to see them when we lived in Texas during migration, such a beautiful butterfly!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
They are indeed. We saw one yesterday. We’re having spring here and it’s wonderful. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
We’ve got a patch of milkweed for Monarchs and whatever else wants ’em.
They are so pretty.
I’m not surprised. How wonderful and I know they appreciate it. Happy WW and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
It is inspiring that these beautiful and small creatures make such long journeys. Butterflies are amazing and magical. Thank you for the great information on their migration patterns. Always a delight to learn new information. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Sandee. Peace to you.
Magical is a good adjective to describe these beautiful creatures. Love and hugs, my friend. Thank you for being such a loyal participant. 🙂
You are most welcome, dear friend. I delight in joining in. Blessings and hugs back to you. Thank you!
They really are beautiful.
Happy Wednesday and have a great rest of the week!
They are indeed, Yvonne. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Monarchs are one of nature’s most amazing creatures. The fact that they migrate such a long way is most amazing!
It sure is. I was amazed at their long voyages each year. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
No, I did not know these details, but I love to learn.
And I love these so delicate creatures! Thank you so much, dear Sandee

Thank you, my wonderful Husband. 🙂
Gorgeous photo of the butterflies and great info ~ ^_^
Hugs and love from me and Ziggy ~ xo
I didn’t know how far they travel each year. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
Beautiful butterflies. I got to see them when they gather in Santa Cruz and Pismo Beach before the long journey south. They blanket the trees.
They love California. Lots of good weather for them to enjoy and thrive. 🙂
Monarchs are spectacular and colourful, love it, and as others said, so small and travelling so far – amazing.
Thanks. Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.

I found this most amazing. Happy WW and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Momach Butterflies are so beautiful and such amazing migrators! I saw one of their resting spots in a California forest on one trip–the trees were covered with them!
We saw one in our yard yesterday. They are most beautiful. 🙂
Such pretty creatures! Wish we were on their migration path so we could see some. Happy Wednesday <3
We had one in our yard the other day. We have lots and lots of flowers here. 🙂
Butterflies are amazing and beautiful, Sandee. We don’t have the Monarch butterflies in our Country, but we have all the others that live here🦋😺Great info about the Butterflies. Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😙💞
I’m glad you enjoyed this post. Double Pawkisses to the kitties and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
WOW! I didn’t know that about butterflies have a good day, Sandee my dear friend💜
Learning new things is a good thing. Happy day and rest of the week, Heidi. 🙂
The Monarchs are fascinating, we see them here sometimes, as well as the Gulf Fritillaries which look so similar. You and Mr. Zane have a blessed week and give some extra scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker from me, please.
I love butterflies and bees and other adorable critters. They all have a purpose. You and Mr. Sweetie have a blessed day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. 🙂
They’re so beautiful and their migration is amazing! One of them took a long rest on my hand a few years ago. That was magical!
Oh how wonderful. I would have been over the moon. 🙂
So pretty!
They are, indeed. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Lydia. 🙂
You are right, butterflies are so beautiful. Unfortunately I noticed here that there are less and less, last year I haven’t seen a single one and the last one had lost all colors. Unfortunately my cats loved them and played with them ….
They are and cats love playing with critters until they die. Our Squeaker love to play with flies. We’re good with that. She keeps the house fly free all summer long. Scritches to Rosie. 🙂
What wonderful animals. Be well, my dear.
I agree. So beautiful. Hugs. 🙂
My dad says this photo reminds him of the several butterfly bushes we had outside our living room window when we lived down in Asheville.
We saw a butterfly this afternoon on a bunch of flowers in our front yard. 🙂
Amazing photo, the butterflies are gorgeous! Thank mew so much for adding our links this week, mew are epic, and we hope your week is furbulous! 🐾😻🐾
Love you all. 🙂
wow butterflies are so incredibly amazing!
They are indeed. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
