This local monarch butterfly seen feeding on this butterfly bush will soon take part in the great fall migration across the continent that could take it as far as southwestern Mexico, a seemingly impossible 3,000-mile journey for a creature of such delicateness. She won’t be returning to the Tri-Town, though, after wintering for months in the Mexican mountains with the millions of other monarchs. Instead, she will make her way back up north, but only as far as Texas, where she will find some local milkweed.
