During a regular patrol of Cerro Pelon in the State of Mexico, Butterflies & Their People forest guardian Emilio Velazquez spotted two monarchs flying high overhead at 1:35 pm the first sighting in their Central Mexican overwintering grounds.

The Butterflies & Their People forest guardians counted 13 monarchs total flying far overhead the State of Mexico side of the Cerro Pelon sanctuary from 1:35-2:05 pm today.

Cerro Pelon Sanctuary will be closed to the public this season, but butterfly guides and guardians are collaborating in a project to share virtual butterfly experiences and support ongoing forest conservation.
