The Forest Floor is Dangerous!
On a cool day in a monarch sanctuary, you will always see monarchs climbing. They seem to climb on anything they can find. They climb to the top of sticks, twigs, and tiny trees like the one pictured here. Monarchs struggle very hard to get off the ground because the forest floor is a dangerous place. On the ground, monarchs are exposed to predators, dew, colder temperatures and even frost and snow.
