Every January, when the breeding grounds of the midwestern united states are covered in snow, millions of monarch butterflies huddle up in the mountains of central Mexico.

Having endured a journey of thousands of miles just four months prior, they perch in trees and await the arrival of spring.

As the temperatures climb and daylight hours increase, the monarchs become reproductively mature and ready themselves for the spring migration. Mating commences in Mexico, but will continue on throughout their northward migration into the Midwest.
