Every autumn, North American monarch butterflies migrate a long way south to California or Mexico to spend the winter. The journey is very difficult.
How do they make it? Recently, a team of scientists discovered that the butterfly could use the time of day and the position of the sun to find the right way to go.
Research also finds out that the number of the butterflies is falling greatly due to human activities. Research lets people know more about monarch butterflies and call on us to do more to protect them. For example, People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on, in order to increase their number and keep their place in nature.
