Migrating to Mexico
I raised almost 50 Monarchs, that my husband and I, either found as caterpillars, or eggs. It has been so rewarding to see the process. The ones we release now, are headed to their wintering grounds, in Mexico. I hope some of them make it! Next Spring they will leave their wintering grounds, and fly north to Texas, and begin the process all over again. They will mate, and lay eggs, after laying eggs that generation dies. The next generation will continue the trek north, mating, and laying eggs. They will go all the way into Canada. The forth generation is the different one, they will make the epic migration 2-3 thousand miles back to the forest in Mexico. All this to say......the generation I am releasing now will be part of this amazing migration! I pray many will make it!
