It’s time for the migration of the Monarch butterfly and they should have reached Mexico by now. They start heading back during the fall weathers from Northern America between September - November.

Monarch butterflies must migrate because they cannot survive long cold northern winters. When they arrive in Mexico, they huddle together in on Oyamel fir trees. Each tree may be blanketed in tens of thousands of 'roosting' butterflies. They hang almost motionless in semi-dormancy, surviving the winter on their stored energy.

View this video of them overwintering en masse in Mexico.

It is amazing to observe millions of butterflies overwintering in Mexico.

Feliz Día de los Mu***os.
Today is the official Day of the Dead. Don’t forget to light up your candles for your loved ones who will be with you today. Honor them and celebrate them.

We’d love to see pictures of anyone that has set up an ofrenda at their home for their loved ones that have passed. Let’s see those beautiful altars ♥️
