Monarch Butterfly
Did You Know?
A fun fact about monarch butterflies is their incredible, multi-generational migration, where the butterflies flying south in the fall are a special "super generation" that lives up to eight months (much longer than other monarchs) to fly thousands of miles to Mexico or California, a journey none of them have ever made before, relying on the sun and Earth's magnetic field to navigate.
