Overwintering Monarch butterflies at Pacific Grove, California

The video was shot at Monarch Grove Sanctuary, Pacific Grove, Monterey, California on January 2016. These butterflies fly from far as Canada to California and central Mexican fir forest. Monarch butterflies are the only insect that migrate to a warmer climate that is 2,500 miles away each year. They cluster together to stay warm. Tens of thousands of monarchs can cluster on a single tree. An amazing view. Best time to see Monarch clusters, larvae in California is October, November and they hang around till mid February. #PlantMilkweed and #SaveTheMonarch, as their population has reduced drastically in the last 20 years in eastern US.
