Have you seen any Monarch Butterflies? The migration has begun and one of the big migration routes goes right over us. Peak migration is expected across the Great Lakes region over the next 3 weeks. Unlike the bird migration that is mostly at night, you can see these butterflies on occasion flying during the day or even roosting on trees in early the morning. The average monarch butterfly flies 2,000 to 3,000 miles to winter in Mexico.

Maybe you've seen it growing everywhere, but you never knew its story... 🌿

Known as purple deadnettle, this common "w**d" has a long history in traditional folk remedies and is often foraged for teas and salads in early spring. Most people just mow right over it.

Butterflies aren't the only insects heading south. Dragonflies migrate too.

Some green darners make one of the longest migrations of any insect in North America. With a wingspan of up to 4 inches, they can fly more than 80 miles in a single day, with some traveling all the way from Canada to Mexico.

Their migration peaks in late summer and fall, when favorable winds can create huge swarms of dragonflies overhead.
