Hi Ana- great point. We realized our error and have added to the description that we are covering only the eastern monarch population. We are hoping that we can get a grant to do another tour about the Western monarchs. Thanks for your comment!

In the sanctuary we were told not to touch the butterflies, they are so delicate we could hurt them unintentionally. Except for that, is great all the interest people is showing for the Monarch.

I nearly cried hearing how Page whisper to the butterflies. Truly touching... thank you so much for such a wonderful mini documentary.

This is one remarkably educational tool I also highly recommend for educational purposes. I especially liked that you included actual contributory excerpts from scientists, teachers, students, and others who share in the fascination of the Monarch migration. Thank You Google Earth for this Monarch Tour :)

What a visual for understanding the migration! Incredible.

That is FANTASTIC!! Thanks so much - I'll share it with others around New Zealand.

Love this short documentary. It highlights the most important facts about this amazing little creature. I found this creature in 2010 for the first time, and since then I am hooked on it. Their journey is just a remarkable wonders of our planet.

Very nice production! Great resource for education. We will be tagging monarchs this weekend in Springfield Missouri.

What a wonderful job! Excellent short documentary on what is happening with the monarch and what people are doing about it!

Awesome video! The visuals were tremendous. Also this narrator; I love him. Like seriously, is he single? KIDDING

Let's all plant more Milkweed.

Beautiful! informative, interesting.... and a joy to listen and watch.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

I’m watching this for school

Awesome video, very educational... THANK YOU...

I look forward to holding a Monarch butterfly in my hand again. Thank you for this wonderful video.

I watched this at school, and everyone in my class kept cracking smiles, and laughing. It might've been because of the people's voices'. xD

Yes, I lived in the SF Bay Area for about a decade, and the monarchs definitely migrate thru there. Glad you brought this up. Was so surprised to see the arrows for the migration pattern completely ignore the US West Coast.

There are two generally recognized groups of monarchs, differentiated by their migratory routes, the Western and the Eastern; this describes only the Eastern migration.

Thank you- Gracias this is wonderful!

I live in northern AZ and I saw one the other day. We do get them up here..... I always saw them when i lived in San Diego

What an experience that must be! Glad you liked it!

This is better than Disovery Channel's "Great Migrations" :)

Thanks Trecia!

Great video Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing the video!

Just saw a large migration (not sure if it's monarchs) but it had to be over 5000 over a time period of 15 to 20 minutes moving north of corona where I'm currently at. It was so awesome

They're all over LA right now, March 12 2019. Millions upon millions! It's incredible.

Very nice.

Cool video!😉

Wonderful companion DVD...Go to Amazon and search on Metamorphosis for a wonderful companion DVD on the Monarch butterfly!

Thank you! Awesome!i had my first monarch visit in in Houston in September, 2019.since then hundreds have flown free. I have 3 chrysalides and about 50 caterpillars now. I’ve cut down and sanitized and placed in water all my milkweed to minimize oe and to feed the cats. It’s awesome to watch an egg hatch under a microscope, then to watch them grow and eventually eclose and fly away. I have some videos on my channel: Polly Horlander.

Great! Please let us know what your students think!

i Love it an im a student

Of course!

I am in Maryland and invested a fortune and a lot of work to creating food for the butterflies and their eggs. I have not seen a single monarch yet ? Why ? Are they gonna come back to me ?

Hi! Can you do a video on the western US migration pattern?

they fallow the warm weather

Eagle Pass is my hometown! lol but loved the video

Surely this migration helps with pollination as well if not better than bees, no?

Do the monarch butterflies travel to the West Coast of California?

Nice video, but it is incomplete in that it ignores the Western monarchs that migrate down the coast to overwinter in agreeable micro-climates such as in the park near my house in Ventura. There are also populations in N Zealand and Hawaii. Google "West Coast Monarchs" (they won't let me post a link here)

If there was a way to change the picture of Ascelpias curvassica (the red and yellow one- tropical milkweed) and replace it with one that is more appropriate for people to plant in temperate zones, that might be good? It seems like there is lots of new evidence that the tropical milkweed planted in non-tropical places is causing problems for the monarchs...better safe than sorry! Thanks:)

cool vid! I made that topper at 10:20

Very good explanation sir.. just curious to know that how the next generation monarch knows that they need to come back to Mexico only I mean towards south only.. cause their parent butterfly would have laid eggs in the lands of either Texas or USA.. they grow up and move their journey till south Canada and from there they themselves perhaps die and then some give birth again at around same land how the 3red generation monarchs know that they should come only to south Mexico and not to move to south Canada or north USA again.. cause the new generation of monarchs will be totally new to that land and probably no old monarchs ever would have completed entire journey and being alive .. If possible explain this

GREAT video! If it's OK, I'd like to use this video for listening practice for my English classes. I love the varied English accents and the excellent information. Please let me know if this is OK.

Yes, this is OK.

Monsanto needs to step up and donate to making our planet healthy again. THEN I would be impressed.

How do they know exactly where to fly in Mexico? it's not like they have a brain, this is so amazing

4 generations to make it home......wow

And just ONE generation, which flies from southern Canada and the northern States all the way up to the middle of Mexico to find one of two small stands of a particular tree. Somehow they have the reserves to just hang out there through the winter months. But their trip is not yet complete! These delicate but tough little insects now do the first leg of the trip back to where they began. Now, that's a double-WOW! The natural world's "greatest generation!" It behooves Texans to have an abundance of the milkweeds native to the area, growing in the places where other pollinators feed. And sources of water would be lifegiving, too. While Texas hosts nearly all monarchs coming and going, everyone living in the fan of migratory paths north and east of Texas can teach-by-doing; the butterflies need to eat and to procreate all the way to their resting place in Mexico.

I need this for qurintine school

Plant Milkweed and save our world!

Very imformative! look at my name btw

creepy

We should heelp them xD
