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.)
