Study Notes

Migration

  • One of the most notable migrations is that of the North American monarch butterfly.

Monarch Butterfly Migration

  • Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies migrate around 4,000 kilometers south to California or Mexico.
  • The monarch butterfly uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun and tell the time of day to determine its direction.

  • Human activity is the main reason for the decline in monarch butterfly population.
  • Human activities that harm the monarch butterfly population include:
