On Thursday night we stayed the night at the Butterfly Inn just south of Monterey. Directly behind the inn was a monarch butterfly wintering habitat. It's quite amazing really... Most monarchs live only 4 to 6 weeks, but every 4th generation lives 8+ months! This generation flies south for the winter. The monarchs who reside west of the Rockies fly to the California coast for the winter and this was one of their prefered spots - lucky us! Those east of the Rockies fly to central Mexico.
