In the north (the United States and Canada) these fragile creatures are spread out, but in Mexico almost all of them go to the top of the same mountain in Angangueo.

The population is so dense that you can hear the sound of the flapping of their wings when the sun hits the trees and they take off to fly in the sun.

And when the monarchs are in the trees the branches bend from their weight

 

During the summer the monarch lives in the northern US and Canada. At the end of the summer it begins it's southward migration and on November 1st punctually all the monarchs arrive in Michoacan.

 

 

They spend the winter in Michoacan, Mexico and mate and in the spring return north. As these fragile creatures have a lifespan of only a few months the monarchs who came to Mexico from Canada are not the ones who return, but their offspring. So the monarch migrating to Canada in the spring never went there before. And likewise the monarch leaving Canada and the northern US to migrate to Mexico never went there before. Each trip is a new generation, but yet each new generation knows to return to this same mountain. So if they can find it, so can you.
