Day 2 of National Pollinator Week is all about Monarch Butterflies! They are scientifically known as Danaus plexippus, belonging to the Nymphalidae family. As w...e all well know, the monarch is a crucial and highly studied species of milkweed butterfly and it calls many places home as it migrates throughout North and Central America. These beautifully winged creatures prepare for the cold weather of winter and begin to fly south, from as north as Canada to as south as Central Mexico, with the purpose of warmer weather. That is a migration of more than 2,000 miles! Flutter on over to our blog to learn more about the monarchs to find some fun activities including a coloring page to celebrate today's pollinator!
