If the monarch butterfly lives west of the Rocky mountains, then it will hibernate in and around Pacific Grove, California in eucalyptus trees When -monarchs emerging at different times of the year do different things -monarchs that emerge in the spring and summer months become reproductive within a few days http://www.learner.org/jnorth/images/graphics/ -monarchs emerging in the fall are in reproductive diapause, which is a state of suspended monarch/monarch_map092998.gif development of the reproductive organs. Even though these butterflies look like summer adults, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_buttery they won’t mate or lay eggs until the following spring. -When the late summer and early fall monarchs emerge from their pupae, they are physically and behaviorally different from those emerging in the summer. The shorter days, cooler air, and milkweed senescence (aging) of late summer trigger changes. In the northern part of their range, this occurs around the end of August, when monarchs begin to emerge in reproductive diapause. -Diapause is controlled by the nervous system and by hormones. Environmental factors signaling the onset of unfavorable conditions are involved in triggering this physiological response. These factors include day length (most important), temperature, and host plant quality. -Hibernate in trees at sites in Mexico and southern California , clustering together, covering whole tree trunks and branches. As the winter ends and the days grow longer, the monarchs become more active and begin a 3-5 week period of intense mating activity -In Mexico, they begin to leave their roosts during the middle of March, flying north and east looking for milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs. Where -go to the very same trees each and every year when they migrate -only insect that migrates to a warmer climate that is 2,500 miles away each year -some migratory journeys extend more than 3,500 km from eastern Canada and the northeastern United States to Mexico -through tagging programs learned that they were overwintering areas in the Transverse Neovolcanic Mountains of Central Mexico migrate to overwinter in 10–13 discrete colonies located in the Oyamel forests of central Mexico http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/monarch/ Hundreds of thousands of monarchs have been tagged over the past five decades, with only 125 MexicanOWSitesA_B.html recoveries from Mexico occurring since 1975 How -they possess a time-compensated sun compass (how they navigate) reading sources: http://www.pnas.org/content/99/15/10162.full http://www.monarch-butterfly.com/monarch-migration.html http://www.pnas.org/content/95/26/15436.short http://www.monarchlab.org/Lab/Research/Topics/Migration /WhenToLeave.aspx http://www.monarchbutteryfund.org/challenge nicole mannell . typography3 Why -monarch butterflies not able to survive the cold winters of most of the United States and Canada so they migrate south and west each autumn -the larval food plants do not grow in their winter overwintering sites, so the spring generation must fly back north to places where the plants are plentiful -migration usually starts in about October of each year, but can start earlier if the weather turns cold sooner than that. -spend their winter hibernation in Mexico and some parts of Southern California where it is warm all year long -If the monarch lives in the Eastern states, usually east of the Rocky Mountains, it will migrate to Mexico and hibernate in oyamel fir trees.
