No single butterfly survives the journey. Instead, it takes four generations of butterflies to travel south to southern California and Mexico to winter in warmer climates. There, they roost by the thousands, sometimes covering trees. In the spring, they begin the long migration back up to the United States and Canada.
The monarch butterfly is the official state butterfly of Alabama, Minnesota, Vermont and West Virginia.
