Link to live map.

This map of "All Migration Sightings" shows all of the places where people have observed and reported migrating monarch butterflies. One dot can equal anywhere from one butterfly to thousands!

  • Find your home state/province on the map. How does your own region compare to other parts of North America?

 

  • Challenge: Write sentences to describe what this map reveals about the distribution of monarchs. What doesn't the map tell you about the abundance of monarchs?
