📖 Reading Passage
The Amazing Monarch Butterfly
Every fall, millions of monarch butterflies begin an incredible journey. These orange and black butterflies travel over 2,000 miles from Canada and the northern United States to central Mexico. This trip takes them about two months to complete.
What makes this journey so amazing is that the butterflies have never been to Mexico before. They use the sun and landmarks like mountains and rivers to find their way. The monarchs that make the trip south are actually the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that made the journey north in the spring.
When the monarchs reach Mexico, they cluster together on fir trees in the mountains. Millions of butterflies cover the tree branches like living orange blankets. They stay there all winter, barely moving to save energy. In spring, they begin the long journey back north, but it takes several generations to complete the return trip.
Scientists are still amazed by how these tiny creatures can navigate such long distances. The monarch migration is truly one of nature's greatest mysteries.
