The
Timing of Fall Monarch Migration
When Will the Migration Reach
You?
| Monarch butterflies form roosts during their fall migration. This map shows when and where people have reported roosts since fall 2002. (This is a real-time map so whenever a new roost is reported it appears on this map.) People report the first date a roost appeared. When do monarchs begin to roost where you live? That's the best time to watch for migrating monarchs. (You may see migrating monarchs earlier or later, too.)
