It's #LearnAboutButterfliesDay. Not all monarchs migrate, but the ones that do are able to locate the breeding ground of their ancestors, even though they've never been there before!

"The population of eastern monarch butterflies – who migrate from Canada and the US to Mexico during the winter – has nearly doubled over the last year." Any good news for butterflies, I will celebrate, while recognizing much more needs to be done! 🦋 #butterfly #insects #conservation

Monarch butterflies begin their journey back from overwintering grounds right around now. They somehow know to return to places where their ancestors were from, hoping the milkweed that supported previous generations is still there. #milkweedformonarchs by Beaming Books #learnaboutbutterfliesday 🦋🧡
