Monarch Butterfly

During the summer, Nothern American monarch butterflies live in the northern United States and southern Canada.  In the fall, they fly south in large groups.  All along their trip, other groups join them, and soon there are thousands of butterfies in flight.  At night, monarch butterflies stop to rest in trees.
