That's a Monarch

and it's on it's way to Mexico where they hang out for the winter. It's quite amazing and they are the only ones that do it.

That's interesting Guyz. They start off in Canada and go to Central Mexico! Long trip! This one didn't seem on his way anywhere. He was just hanging around on the flowers.

National Geographic did a special on their migration and it was an amazing piece of work that I found very informative. If you ever get a chance to watch it I know you'll enjoy it. It's amazing what those little buggers are capable of.

When they get to their destination there are millions gathered at the same area. They always go back to that " one spot ".
