I witnessed the migration when the butterflies were heading south. It was on the beach - a windy day. I saw 1 butterfly and thought how strange it was to see a butterfly at the beach. Then I saw 3, then I was surrounded by millions of butterflies! It was such a powerful event. God exists. He surrounds us with miracles every day. Praise God!

I was born in late 1950's, grew up just outside Grand Rapids, Michigan. This was (at that time) farmland, dirt roads, meadows, woods, streams...true childhood heaven. One late spring, a mammoth cloud of Monarchs came thru our backyard. Covering EVERYTHING. Magical. And I never saw that again. Fast-forward decades later, when the Devos's began The Festival of Arts. I was walking thru an area where an artist was completing her exhibit and suddenly I was back in that cloud of Monarchs. She had painstakingly recreated a swarm in a way that made my heart joyous and break at the same time. Bless her ❤🕊️

@jeffhildreth9244 29 дней назад

I lived in PG for over 40 years. It is no longer "the last home town" unless you are a extremely wealthy. The character of the town is no longer what it was owing to the invasion of elitists. I sold my last property there in 2011. Glad to leave. Still have family there. Visit occasionally and can wait to get out. The Monarchs go there to lap up fermented pine tree sap and copulate; Fact. Perfect for a staunch Methodist town.

@@joeycee2585 " I know many people there; none is a staunch methodist" Then you do not know the staunch Methodists of PG. That your circle of friends are not Methodist is no indicator. If you had lived there for 4 plus decades, you would know differently. The town was founded by the Methodists and the core is still there. Sadly, much of that era is gone.. used to be a "quaint" balance, not the case anymore. The Monarchs came, got intoxicated on fermented pine sap, fornicated to the delight of otherwise staunch Methodists. Balance. My younger brother still lives there, my oldest brother and parents are buried there.

We had Monarchs, both adult and caterpillars, in New Hampshire and knew they loved the milkweed plants! I didn't know, then, that the adults migrate to Mexico every year. So lovely to see these millions of adult Monarchs on the trees, waiting for that crucial temperature to signal it's time to fly north!

@Danika_Nadzan Месяц назад

Isn't is mind-boggling that such tiny creatures can undertake a migration like that? It actually takes 3 or 4 generations to make the round trip, so those leaving Canada for Mexico have never flown the route before! If you can find the 2012 movie, Flight of the Butterflies, it tells how their story was discovered. Cheers!😊

It was the most wonderful thing I’ve ever seen. I used to take my son to see the gliders fly in the afternoon in Alamogordo, New Mexico and on the way back the poplar trees were covered with monarch butterflies. I told other people and they said oh yes, you’ll have to go very early in the morning and wait for them to get warm and then they will all takeoff and fly to Mexico for the winter. Of course my son is too young to remember he was barely, 11 months old. But to this day, I like to grow milkweed, especially because they like to cut it off on the sides of the highways and that’s so detrimental to the monarchs. Please don’t cut the milkweed down.
