A Butterfly Migration Super Highway Could Bring Millions Of Monarchs Through Connecticut This Fall

Every year, millions and millions of Monarch butterflies migrate from Mexico up to Canada and back down again, and when this magical phenomenon passes through the states, the sights are incredible. This fall, you’ll catch millions of butterflies traveling through Connecticut as one of their migration super highways passes directly through our state. Once they travel down to the south, they overwinter until spring arrives. This phenomenon is highly studied by experts and can only be caught at certain times of year, and this is it. Keep your eyes peeled as millions upon millions of Monarch butterflies grace our state this fall.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
