We think it helps them by making it harder to catch them when they are
up in the trees. The mice can't get them as easily.

Also, it is like a school of fish. It is harder to focus on one
monarch and catch that one because of the others.

They also camouflage in the trees. They look like leaves.

The trees keep the monarchs drier and warmer. The monarchs are warmer
when they cluster. Then they won't fall to the forest floor from the
cold. Predators can get them more easily on the floor.
