The monarch butterfly is a milkweed butterfly . It may be the most familiar North American butterfly. Its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern, with a wingspan of 3 to 4 in.
The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the United States and southern Canada to Mexico. During the fall migration, it covers thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return North. The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains most often migrate to sites in California but have been found in overwintering Mexico sites.
