The Great Monarch Migration

- The greatest migration on Earth sends tens of millions of butterflies from all over North America down to this small forest in Mexico. Seeing this overwintering site of the monarch butterfly in real life is even more miraculous than you can imagine.

We have a milk weed garden and raised 3 monarchs this year. This is sooooooo cool.
I don't know you, but for a second I saw the 5-year old you in that video. thx
Cried and touched because of this. Your videos are amazing. I haven’t seen anything like that here in my country, Philippines. Truly praising God for people like you (and your team) and for showing this. It is a great advocacy.
God bless and excited for your upcoming videos.
Going to buy milkweed tomorrow my garden. We are starting to get Monarch butterflies flying around in Long Beach California. I’ll help them with my unused garden area. Thanks for the advice
I smiled through the whole video. How lucky you are to have witnessed this and thank you so much for sharing it with us!
The Pastor at my church shared this video in her weekly written message to us and I am so grateful she did. Wow. This is one of the most astonishingly beautiful things I have ever seen. Wow. Thank you for respectfully capturing and sharing this Great Monarch Migration with us all. God is amazing. Beyond amazing.
This is why we plant Milkweed and raise Monarch butterflies.
This video is amazing! we have overwintering sites here in California, but this...is amazing. Thank you for such a beautiful video!
Thank you for planting the milkweed! I have seen some of the sites in California which motivated me to take the trip to see them here.
The Jungle Diaries we are ready to take that trip with you next year!
That is so beautiful I even cried. Butterflies are my favourite beings ever and I just can't with this beauty.
So much beauty in this world- it was astounding to see it all in one place
I was sent here by Alie Ward from the Ologies Podcast! Great podcast episode and awesome video! I wanna book my next trip to Mexico to see this. :)
I am in awe at God's creation.. wow! I hope I can one day come visit this beautiful place!
This is beautiful. My niece’s indian name is Memengwaqu which means butterfly in Ojibwe. 🦋
What a beautiful name!
I watched a program on this amazing migration event in an Omni-Max theater at our museum. It was just gorgeous. This migrations should be listed as one of the wonders of the world. The sky was literally covered by them, even the sunshine dimmed when they flew into their destination. Then the trees totally changed, literally covered by Monarchs. You couldn't see the bark. This is SO worth protecting so that our grandchildren can experience it.
Well this is nothing short of spectacular!!
Thank you so much! And I always appreciate a share :-)
I first became aware of Monarchs migrating about 5 yrs ago when on several instances I noticed a monarch flying near my vehicls as I entranced the highway westward. Then I saw a 3-D documentary that stole my heart. In Sept/Oct, I've seen monarchs come through Indiana, a, from NE traveling SW. Sometimes stopping to rest. Thank for sharing this video. I'm curious to know how many acres of forest the monarchs occupy. I read it was less than two acres in 2013. Down from 44 in 1996. We cannot lose the monarch butterfly, and I will do what I can to spread the word about the importance of milkweed.
They are SO beautiful!! Wonderful video! :-D
I'm seeing monarch butterflies in Northwest Florida, now in May, and they're usually not here until the fall.
This video is reminding me of the time when I was in Pre-K and 1st grade and my teachers in both grades were freeing the butterflies.
Whoooaaaa!! Too many beauties to handle!! When I saw lots of Mapwing butterflies in Coban Rais Waterfall, Batu, East Java (of course not as crazily much as these monarchs) my mind was blown away!! I would definitely faint from happiness if I ever see this much butterflies 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is amazing !!! So beautiful!!!! Going to plant those plants you talked about .
This is one of the easiest environmental issues in the world to fix. Instead of paying lawyers and lobbyists ungodly sums of money to hobnob with the rich and powerful with the hope they will force others to bend to their will while those people pay their lawyers ungodly sums of money to fight it, just cut the lawyers and politicians out and spend the money to buy land and turn it into habitat. If you are willing to not be squeamish about hunting there are already organisations doing just this that would gladly welcome more habitat for their species. The funny thing about the hunting groups is that they don't pay people to force others to do what they want, they just do it themselves meaning fewer lawyers and lobbyists get second and third homes and more habitat is created without more restrictions on what people can do with their own land.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful scenes and the monarch butterfly story! I esp love the butterfly kiss and the footage of the back lit monarchs
You're welcome Isa! If you ever get a chance to visit you must- you can then give one a butterfly kiss yourself :-)
Great video! The Monarch Butterflies have been flying over Thousand Oaks, CA for days now...what a magnificent sight!!
Interesting video. Monarchs are amazing. I need to add this to my bucket list.
1:12-1:16 That moment when a man knows exactly what they love and feel exactly where they belong. I'm actually jealous of your passion
Wonderful video! I will see the monarch butterflies in January 2019 and I soooo can’t wait. This video is awesome and now I’m so excited for my trip.
I watched this because of the Ologies podcast with Alie Ward. Hi
Oh heyyyyy
These videos inspire me to keep studying and work hard and maybe one day ill have a cool job like this. Or at least, get to travel and witness.
i dont understand why your channel hasnt blown up yet, ill definitely share this video with my friends
Hello from ologies😊 thanks for getting me through work last night great episode👍
Any time! More Lepidoptera goodness coming to this channel soon 🙌🏼🦋
What a small world. I’m looking up where to take my daughter to see butterflies and I see someone I’ve always wanted to work with (I’m a photographer in LA) at 2:16. We exchanged a few messages but never happened. I’ve been off the gram since being a dad I don’t even remember her name but glad to see her/you two having an amazing time!
Seen them up here in late September 2018..southeast Michigan area.
I’m in love with the monarch butterfly 🦋
Breathtaking vid... thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
campbub
It would be nice if you have videos on those butterflies in Michigan
#MonarchButterflies#Michigan
So glad i came across your vids today. What a wonderful piece. Amazing clips. Beautiful experiences.
So they're protected in Mexico because traditionally it was believed that the Monarchs were the spirits of their dead ancestors returning to visit. Quite beautiful.
Just listened to you on Ologies Podcast! Had to check out your video. Nice work! 🦋
Monarch butterflies have a solar compass that is fixed to the position of the sun. These insect also use a remarkably accurate circadian clock - a biological function based on the 24 -hour day - to make corrections for the sun`s movement. Is the complex navigational system of the monarch butterfly the product of chance? Or is it evidence of an intelligent Designer?
Never forget this name Homero Gómez. He die trying to protect this place.
Sir I first came to know about your work through Al Jazeera. Really enjoyed your series and keep doing the great work.
I was mistaken at first that I thought you were the brother of the Hillsong united Singer Joel Houston.
I raise the 5 generation... The ones that are there.. Oooo how I would love to be there...
Amazing. I've been waiting for you to post this. Do you know what time of the year is the best time to visit the Monarchs in Michoacan? I've seem them many times in Santa Cruz,CA but never like this.
December through end of February is best!
Amazing, phil!! Thanks for doing this!! Beautiful
60fps. EXCELLENT!
super cute! i love when the girl kiss the butterfly! how romantic!
As I sit waiting for my last chrysalis of the year to emerge, I just had to know what would lie ahead for him/her. How absolutely stunning! Thank you. So their offspring will know to come back to the same place?
Does the monarch have its arivecan app uploaded ?
Spiritual perfection...
Outstanding! I will make the journey one day☺ Thank you so much!
Fantastic work as always Phil! This is one of your best
Amazing experience 😍😍😍Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
When I was little, I got a book from my grandma about butterflies. It wasn’t a science book, but it felt like...magic to me. The book said that the butterflies were the universe. Each year, they would travel around the whole world, and when they stopped to rest, they would sleep inside these beautiful flowers, until it was time to travel again the next year. But then, the humans came. They were hungry, so they killed. They tried to show their strengths by fighting each other to death, and where their blood touched the ground, the soil dried and died. The humans, their heads filled with ideas, built over the butterflies flowers. And the butterflies died. The ones that survived, were scared of these monsters, so some flew so high up, they became the stars we see today. Others gave their bodies to the earth, and grass would grow. But there was one human, a very old one, who had seen what humans did, and so he lived away from society. He learned about butterflies, how they traveled the Earth and gave life to where everything seemed to be lost. He learned about how butterflies drank this sweet juice, that gave them energy to keep going. So, he recreated that nectar. he spent years and years, until he finally got it. He then stood outside, with the nectar on his hands, and his hand stretched out, waiting for a butterfly to arrive. he waited years, and people came to join him and help him, but soon left. he didn’t eat nor drink anything, he just waited. And then, when his feet were lost in the snow, and his hope was so low, a butterfly came. it drank from its hands, that sweet nectar it was looking for. And then the old man said, “i was waiting for you” and the butterflies took him, flew with him around the earth, until his body could take no more, and he perished. Where he fell and his body decomposed, a flower grew. And the flowers kept extending, and the butterflies could finally stop their journey and rest in those flowers.
Omg that’s such a beautiful and mysterious story! I love it!
I only did this for school
Just beyond beautiful ❤️🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Great video! Great for the classroom!
Thank You so much Phil!! Amazing 🦋
Here for a online school assignment loll, actually loved the video is soo pretyyy.
amazingly beautiful!!!! thanks for sharing
Amazing sight!
HOW do they know to do that? Last ones that did it have been dead 4 ur 5 generations ago and they don't have google maps. This particular generation also lives far longer than the normal life span of a monarch. HOW does that happen? Anyone.
Absolutely Fantastic!
Very awesome video! Thanks
its like heaven here!!!!!!!
i love this !!!thank for upload
it is amazing butterflies are beautiful
Monarchs are really cool critters, long may they continue (I can't, unfortunately, assist by panting milkweed, for one very good reason---I'm British).
Bellas hermosas bendiciones de Dios hermosas!!!! Simple como dice el guía cuídalas ❤❤
