The #monarchbutterfly winter refuge
Found in 1975, thanks to research by Canadian scientist Fred #Urquhart, the winter refuge of the monarch butterfly in central Mexico is a real wonder of nature.
.
Declared a UNESCO protected natural site in 2008, it´s the green place where butterflies that leave #Canada & the #UnitedStates mountain areas in the fall, come & hide in the woods of “El Rosario” sanctuary (Michoacán, Mexico), to hibernate from late November to February.
.
Due to their sexual maturing in March, they reproduce a new generation of butterflies that will continue the millennial #migration flight to North America; when the spring begins.
.
Well preserved to the present day by #WWF & #MonarchWatch among other NGO´s, the #sanctuary is now recovering from a seriously reduced number of #butterflies from the last 5 years.

Monarch butterfly season is going over to springtime...
The #MonarchButterfly season is over to #Spring time in Mexico... #WLTG
.
Monarch butterflies will soon start the second leg of their iconic migration having passed the winter in the Transvolcanic Mountains of Mexico. But future generations of monarchs faced with changing climates may have a hard time finding their way home.
A monarch butterfly navigates using a sun compass in its mid-brain and circadian clocks in its antennae. But, until now, what makes a monarch reverse its direction has remained a mystery. New research shows that the chill at the start of spring triggers this switch.
.
The migration of the black-white-and-orange butterfly is unique in the lepidopteran world because its round trip is more like one undertaken by birds -- a journey in the fall from Canada and the northern United States to Southern California and Mexico. There, the monarchs spend the winter in "Goldilocks" microclimates -- low enough to keep their metabolic demands down but not so cold as to let them freeze.
The end of hibernation let their bodies becoming sexually mature so, to the end of winter, most of the butterflies were mating and getting ready to leave the woods to fly back North, as many females will drop eggs on the journey.
By instinct, according to most of the biologists, the monarchs will find the way back to north america and 3 to 4 generations after, we will be watching how they complete the millennial flight they have been doing, as long as they are not disrupted by serious weather changes.
