Monarch Migration and Metamorphosis | Incredible Animal Journeys | National Geographic

Miracle is an understatement. Whatever you do, I highly recommend the viewer learn about the entire migration process of the monarch butterfly from start to finish, from Mexico to Northern Canada then full return back to Mexico. It is awe inspiring. Someone once told me that the Monarch's full journey has been known to awaken a strong sense of spirituality in some former athiests. I now know why.

What a beautiful natural process..

I love Monarch butterflies, one of my favourite species. Not the most colourful but amazing when flying.

One of nature's miracles! Spectacular footage! This short video illustrates how crucial each little backyard garden of native plants really is to their survival! Thank you, NG, for always educating the public!! 🦋

Absolutely a beautiful video! Just like I have experienced for so many years, they will come if you grow the milkweeds in your back and front yard, in the soil or in the pots. They have made My summer meaningfully and enjoyable.

Totally Amazing!

I want to grow milkweed now

My newest favorite video from National Geographic!

Just totally amazing

I just rescued 11 monarch caterpillars from my garden this morning. Cold weather coming tonight.

Life is Precious

Sooooo Amazing

It's so beautiful 😍.

The most life saving gift for Monarch Butterflies is to plant milkweed. You may have some now, (we know it’s perineal!), and I encourage everyone out there to start some in your gardens, on edges of fields or even in large containers on the porch or patio. Call around nurseries that tend to have plants grown without any sort of insecticides. They will steer you toward healthy, native milkweed. Great video thanks to Nat. Geographic! To learn more I recommend the best video series by a science teacher, MrLundScience! Best to you.

Monarchs are my favorite butterfly

Monarchs also love Passion Fruit vine they lay eggs and the larvae eat the leaves they also help pollinate the fruit. I had many of these plants and it was wonderful to watch!

سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم

The aquarium campus in Scottsdale, Arizona has a butterfly exhibit that shows an exceptional 3D film about the Monarch's journey. It really is fascinating - hopefully you can check it out sometime!

Great thing to do! Your local garden center can help you find the native milkweed- be sure their plants are pesticide free, best of luck!

Wow. Nature is so beautiful
