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. Texto: Oscar Navarro Cortés
