A reader wrote to ask:
"Why do monarchs leave Mexico in the spring and migrate north? Is it because it gets too hot in Mexico during the summer? Does milkweed not grow in Mexico? Do they have to head where the milkweed supply is coming back in the spring? I have yet to find an article that explains why monarchs leave Mexico in the spring and I have googled this endlessly."

Dear friends:
The monarch season has sustained an overwhelming peak for a whole month now! After visiting the sanctuaries, people return to town simply in shock by their impression at the experience. Travelers are here from as far as the Belgium, Ukraine, China, Japan, the Czech Republic and, of course, loyal followers from the United States and Canada. Everybody is amazed completely!
An Unusual Year
This is an unusual year at the overwintering sites in Mexico and at the California sites, too. Active mating and hints of early departure are being reported.
