The Monarch Butterfly spectacular migration

One of the most spectacular migrations in the world is the Monarch butterfly annual journey.

It travels thousands of miles from the Northeast United States and Southeast Canada all the way to the central Mexico.

They choose the highland Oyamel forests of Michoacan and Mexico states where they cluster in large groups during winter.

These forests in Mexico have been declared as world Heritage site by UNESCO.

This epic phenomenon is vital for pollination and ecosystems support for the health of many flowering plants.

Monarchs use their internal clock in conjunction with the sun to navigate this amazing journey.

Special cells in their compound eyes can detect polarized light, allowing them to find the sun even on cloudy days.

Come to Mexico during the months of december, january and february and admire the dense forests full of Monarch butterflies.
