The monarch butterfly is sometimes called the “milkweed butterfly” because its larvae eat the plant. In fact, milkweed is the only thing the larvae can eat! If you’d like to attract monarchs to your garden, you can try planting milkweed. I deem the monarchs to be the most pulchritudinous butterfly of them all. May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun And find your shoulder to light on, To bring you luck, happiness and riches Today, tomorrow and beyond.✿✿✿ -Zandeleigh✿

Your article says:
“A typical butterfly will make just one round trip during its lifetime.”
This is not correct according to other information sources on Monarch butterflies. Rather than one round trip, it takes 4 life cycles to make the annual round trip. 3 generations migrate north and the 4th returns all the way south, hibernates for the winter then begins the northward journey in the Spring.

I missed the Monarch Butterfly Migration program and would it be possible to get a copy or is it going to be on TV again?

Watched the program on Friday night and it was totally amazing. Why does it take 1 generation to travel 2,000 to Mexico, yet it takes 4 generations to return to Canada? I am mystified!
