You may have noticed the steady stream of Monarch butterflies moving along the coastline of northwest Florida. It is the annual fall migration from Canada to Mexico as the butterflies seek out warmer weather. This particular generation of monarch lives about six months and will come back to the United States to mate after the winter, laying eggs along the way. In Northwest Florida, they congregate in places where they have food and shelter and people can help by planting good nectar plants so they have something to eat, and not using pesticides in their landscaping.
