Monarch Butterfly
This species of Butterfly travels of the north of
Canada and the West of the United States to
hibernate from mid October until the month of
March in a natural area protected by the federal
government since 1975. This area is made up of
five sanctuaries that are Cerro Altamirano,
Sierra Chincua, Sierra el Campanario, Cerros
Chivatí-Huacal y Cerro Pelón, all that placed in
Michoacán State and the Estado de México.
At the end of February, the survivors to the
hibernación and predators, send itself to the air
in search of the sexual connection.
Later it seems to prepare itself for its long
trip,, again its instinct has been guiding them
for the flowery fields of asclepias in Canada and
the United States, indispensable for the
development of this species.
