Every Spring, the majestic monarch butterflies begin their migration north. This year, however, will be even more spectacular. In 2018, the colorful insects were met with particularly good weather in the Midwest, so they were able to lay more eggs on the milkweed plants. To make things even more favorable, the monarchs had a breezy migration to Mexico last Fall. This means that Central Texans get to see even more of these dazzling creatures this Spring. You’ll want to see this massive monarch butterfly migration for yourself.

If you really want to gaze at these creatures, head over to The Zilker Botanical Garden's Butterfly Trail.
