How many butterflies does it take to make a noise in the woods? A few million. Watch (and listen!) as these monarchs put on a show at their overwintering site in Mexico. Follow on Instagram @phil_torres for more.
This was filmed while leading a trip to visit the monarch migration with Atlas Obscura.
I don't know why, but this made me cry. Mother Nature is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing this miracle with us.
Me too... wasn't expecting to get teary-eyed by a video about butterflies... yet, here I am.. It was absolutely beautiful.
Hope you have a lovely day.
GOD is so wonderful💓
ggwoman ...lol bless your heart ❤️ they are tears of joy 😂 made me cry too and thanking God at the same time.
@Antonio DG Real men cry, too. I suppose you're less than a man.
Everly Green indeed God is amazing and HIS creations prove it
How To Train Your Butterfly: The Hidden World
Aran Aguilar you need to let your butterfly come to you. You don’t go to him. They must be ready to team with you.

I've never experienced millions of Monarchs, but I have experienced 1,000s and 1,000s once. On my acreage in northern Iowa I had a small mixed grove which ran east to west. One afternoon I went out to my grove and beheld a miracle! Thousands and thousands of Monarchs had stopped to rest on their migration! They were only there that afternoon and evening and gone by morning, but watching the setting sun shining through all of those butterflies was a sight for the ages! I'll never forget, it was 40 years ago.
Wow!!
Sounds beauti_ful...!🦋💞🦋
Very cool!
What an experience of a lifetime!
Thank you so much. Those Monarch Butterflies may have only been there a few hours for you but their power lasted decades. Awe!
It’s funny, you know, it’s almost like there is hidden messages, when in life you can choose to look down, and think about all the things that has happened, or you can look forward for the future and spread your wings and fly. This is truly beautiful, and gave me another look on life. Thank you.
Continue to look up😊
Monarch butterflies will always remind me of my mother, she loved them... I miss my mom
They remind me of my previous cat Micah, she loved to catch & bring me them, out of the tons she brought me only one was ever damaged & beyond releasing, ever since she passed, if I'm feeling down a monarch butterfly always turns up in some form whether it's the real thing or a picture, video etc 😻😻😻
Sorry for your lost, but I miss my dad and he became a White Butterfly and flies around the family home and around my mother as she works in the garden. Maybe you haven't noticed an oddly present butterfly or other creature of nature that may be her.
My dad was a black butterfly
He got shot by the white butterfly lol
@@cheetothecat1915 lol stfu
You will see her soon, dont worry, these years are nothing compared to ETERNITY.
Pray for the butterflies and bees. Pray for the forest and flowers that support them. Absolutely a magical treat to see this special site in Mexico. Seeing the "waterfall" and the sky filled with masses of something so beautiful. TY for sharing.
Rural Nevada just had a massive invasion of the Monarch Butterfly. It was a magical week to see the magnificence of this beautiful butterfly in Nevada.
Esteleen Westby California did last month
yeah i saw that! it was so memorizingly gorgeous
Omg! I wish I can see something like this in my time
I was wondering why I went to red rock on the weekend and there were so many butterflies that you never really saw before
Sammee i kept seeing like 16 butterflies fly by me every 3 minutes. It was amazing every minute i was like LOOK A BUTTERFLY
This is one of the most profound experiences you can imagine!
Until you walk through a blizzard of monarchs, you haven’t experienced life in its most majestic and awe inspiring!
💕💗🦋
3:29 - The awe of the Flutterfall!
Ooo nice one
I see what you did there...😁
Flutterfall ❤❤❤ that! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you a 100000 times over. I absolutely adore and love all butterflies 🦋 I have 4 of them on my foot. For each of my children and my husband. I know I’ll never get to see this. So I absolutely thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was truly an amazing sight and sound. That I will never forget. Thank you. The glory of God is shown in the beauty of these beautiful butterflies 🦋 thank you 🥰❤️🦋🌈
Thanks. I’ve got a huge milkweed patch and a yard full of perennials. I collect the eggs and rear them. 100% get released every year. Makes my heart sing!
Dave Hendricks nicely done!
How? I'm planting a 40x15 ft patch this year
@@KethenGoesHam watch in early July for females laying eggs. I bring the eggs in and hatch them. Fresh leaves everyday. Vented cages. Covers for them to form chrysalids. Hatch in a week.
This video reminds me of a story when I got to experience a magical sound of a single monarch butterfly last summer. After I got home from my walk, I saw a huge monarch butterfly collecting nectar in my planter. Then it flew in a circular-clockwise direction and flew so close to my ear! I could hear the gentle flapping sounds from its wings. It sounded very peaceful and relaxing to me.
Did it tickle your ear?
Sees butterfly on the ground: 😢😭
Sees how many are alive: 😄😃🙌😍
This was breathtaking. TY for sharing.
ThatLadyDray At least that butterfly made it to the migration spot. Used all its energy and made it.
Today’s lesson in Right Mind.
GOD'S CREATION. Words can only say, I stand in awe of our Creator and the Beauty he has created! LORD JESUS YOU ARE WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!
Yes. He is so awesome!
Amen!!! This is HIS work!!!! 👏 🙌 🙌
For sure! 💎🦋
Stfu jesus and god had nothing to do with this stop living in a delusional fantasy land
wow, incredible footage - thanks for sharing this with us!
Wow cool comment, thank you for commenting
4:50 - "...and, mate" *butterfly high-five*
You could call it a butterfly-five lol
So beautiful, it sounds like static, on a TV. Everything artificial nature had first. That's just how it is.
OH SHIT I thought my speaker was broken. Haha.
In the early fall of 1985 my husband and I were staying at the family camp ground on Vandenberg Air Force Base. We took a walk through a wooded path to the beach and discovered the trees were covered with monarch butterflies. It was the most awesome and beautiful sight I have ever seen.
My God I heard that sound and my eyes are full of tears! this is amazing that’s my father’s hometown. Michoacán Mexico 🇲🇽
One of the most prettiest places in Mexico is forsure Michocan.
I love Michoacán as well, my hubby is from Michoacán he told he will take me to see the butterflies
Finally!!! I thought that guy would never shut up. I just wanted to hear the butterflies.
I never knew that they could make that sound! So beautiful!
Sounded like wind in the forest to me!
I must cry...the miracles of this world...so beautiful, intelligent and making me so happy, thank you for making and providing this video 😍👌💖
I'm crying too - sometimes words just aren't enough, so the heart speaks instead. 🤗
Nicely documented spectacle. Humanity knows that it needs to stop destroying our earth-home but so far the political and social will is inadequate to face the challenge.
There's also a lack of awareness of their unique needs for the milkweed plants. As more land is cleared for homes & commercial development, here are fewer & fewer native plants in some areas, including the milkweeds.
I appreciated that this video mentions thay they need the milkweed plants, but it is no exaggeration to say their very existance as a species is dependant upon this plant.
We all need to spread the word on just how critical it is to their survival.
Nothing gonna change that besides some of the archaic fucking dinosaurs in our political and economic systems.bieng washed from this earth in a bloody mess.sadly...
...aand what are you doing to help the environment?
Honestly. Did you hear about the court case where a bunch of people are trying to take the US Gov to court over climate change? They haven’t had an actual trial yet, but one of the reps on the govs side tried pulling, in a paraphrase, “The constitution doesn’t promise a right to a livable climate.”
It’s disgusting. I don’t want to see this planet die.
Plant Native Milkweeds so that the females have a place to lay their eggs and reproduce.
Emphasis on *"NATIVE"*
*DO NOT* plant Tropical Milkweed if you live in the US. It will only harm the Monarchs.
It builds up parasites that feeds on Monarch Butterflies which can cripple or KILL them.
It's Latin Name: *Asclepias CURASSAVICA*
List of Milkweeds you can use:
Common Milkweed
Swamp Milkweed
Butterflyweed (Asclepias TUBEROSA)
Antelopehorn Milkweed
And DONT use any pesticides or herbicides on or around this plant. This will ALSO kill Monarchs
The migration came through my beach town once, it was truly something I'll never forget!
It would be awsome to be right there wittnesing this miricle. Thank you for sharing your experience so we can experience it at all.
It’s magnificent on video, I can just imagine being there to see it first hand would be absolutely amazing
An absolutely stunning work of nature. This sound blew my mind and made me truly grateful that such beauty exists.
What a magnificent RARE TREAT INDEED! Thank you so very much, for sharing such a naturally beautiful experience with us.
OMG! I’m just overwhelmed now. Seeing them is one thing - but hearing them takes my breath away! Thanks for sharing this experience.
This captures the experience so perfectly, Phil. Let's go back!
YES PLZ
That was so beautiful..I literally had tears in my eyes...Thanks a ton for sharing this with us.
💗💗💗 this! I turned my front yard into a butterfly garden & I am an official Monarch Waystation by Monarch Watch. Seeing this makes me so happy & to think that maybe one or two of those beauties flitting about are one of tge 50 that I raised & tagged in the fall. I like to tell everyone to Plant Milkweed! Give a Caterpillar a Home! 🐛😊💗
Heather Rakowski that’s amazing! Thanks for doing that :-)
How does one "tag" a butterfly?? And why? Who would inspect the butterfly for your tag? Given a butterfly's lifespan, isn't that over-the-top, needless, and unjustifiable stress to the butterfly?
CA Catr it is not needless! This technique has been mastered over many decades, and has helped us understand the path of their migration. A tagged butterfly in one place can show up on another thousands of miles away. This doesn’t harm the butterflies but helps us understand their unique behavior and populations so we can better protect them.
@@cacatr4495The butterflies that I have tagged are part of the Monarch Super Generation. They are the generation born in the fall. They are larger than the previous generations so they can handle the lengthy journey to migrate from my home in Michigan all the way to their overwintering site in Mexico. These Monarch butterflies differ from the other generations because they are not sexually mature. They need to save as much of their fat stores for their journey south, then their 5 month stay, & then their journey back northward to mate in the southern states. This condition is called diapause & allows then to live longer than the normal 2 weeks of other generations. All of this was learned because of citizen scientists like me tagging butterflies to help aid research scientists. This facinating journey is in danger of being lost forever due to loss of habitat, global warming, & chemical spraying in the US. Monarch butterflies only lay their eggs on milkweed. So I like to tell people to Plant Milkweed! Give a Caterpillar a home! 🐛 Oh if you have Netflix, check out Flight of the Butterfly. This film is about the discovery of the Mexico wintering grounds & tagging butterflies.
I feel sad that those who really need to be reminded to take care of our environment are not the ones here to watch this beautiful video. I love our world, this giant blue marble floating miraculously in the dark, and I hold the vision for it to become whole and perfect again.
Me too. That these creatures can survive all we throw at them, is miraculous. I wish we could turn the clock back to see the world a thousand years ago, but I don't want to know what it will be 1,000 years from now, if humans continue to survive.
I will never get to experience the splendor of these magnificent creatures so I Thank You for sharing this.
I love the wholesome areas of CZcams!
This is the most beautiful, peaceful thing I have ever heard.
How can we help Monarchs? Dissolve Monsanto, jail their leaders & seize their assets and redistribute the money towards conservation projects like saving the Monarchs.
I totally agree!!
Amen. Fragile environments are nothing to company stockholders whose avarice predominates every other consideration.
Yeaaah ... something like that'd do
Plant more milkweed too
Noe Berengena
All belongs to the Creator....not the Creation.
We are in God. The lesser belongs in the Greater.
Soooo beautiful!! The sight and sound fills my heart.
We need giant swaths of milkweed in America to save our butterflies.
Azure22 yes we do! And Common milkweed is very easy to grow. You can plant it and it will take care of itself.

Fabulous I am going to buy seeds somewhere today❤️✌️🦋
This spring I was finally able to find 6 Florida-local milkweed plants and put them in my front yard. They grew rapidly and bloomed and the next day I saw a Monarch visiting them! Best of all, because they were locally sourced by the Florida Native Plant Society, one arrived with a Monarch egg which hatched and grew into a hungry hungry caterpillar. So happy!
Oh my goodness, thats beautiful! Looks like fairyland!☺
This is stunningly beautiful. What magic. I have tears in my eyes. Witnessing a monarch migration has been in my bucket list for quite some time. I hope to make it down some day. ❤
Thank you I will start planting plants like that in my property God bless you
Got goosebumps seeing all the butterflies. That is literally my version of heaven. “ Look up and see what you’re surrounded by .” 🦋
Oh wow, thanks for this! How beautiful and you captured it so perfectly!
It sounds like white noise/a waterfall but really soft and comforting. Someone needs to make a recording of this and put it in the RainRain app so I can sleep to it lmao
Thank you, this made me tear up, nature rejuvenates the soul, monarchs were one of my first childhood friends. 🦋❤💖
BREATHTAKING. OHHHH MOTHER NATURE'S BEAUTY PIERCES MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR THIS.
BEE-U-T-FULL 🤗💕 ThankQ for sharing with us ~~~ 🦋🦋🦋
Drove through the monarch migration on a trip out west with my family years ago, was amazing😍😍😍🦋🦋🦋🦋
This is a beautifully-made clip. You should be having 19 MILLION subscribers. Keep it up!
Absolute magic..my jaw dropped at the sight of all the deceased. I think I just had a spiritual moment tbh. Thank you..thank you so much ❤️
Thank you, wholeheartedly, for making and posting this video. Thank You
I raise Monarchs in NYS and if some of my Methuselahs get there, it warms my heart. The beauty and sound of them made me cry tears of joy. Thank you. ♥️🌹♥️
To behold such an amazing n beautiful site" would be a blessing! Like my Dad, I've always loved the peaceful yet graceful butterflies.🦋💞🦋💞🦋
If this video doesn't get a million views in the next month or two _AT LEAST_ then CZcams has failed us.
Better to load it in HD (1080) or above and listen with headphones. Sound detail is a lot more noticeable at these resolutions. Less compression in general, I guess.
Lovely video.
*_Even tho they are harmless to us I still get freaked out at the sight of that many on the tree trunk!_*
It's horrifying
Wow! I have never seen anything like this in my life! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us! It's absolutely breathtaking!
This video is exactly what everyone needs to see ...the flip side of what is seen in social media and TV. The real beauty that surrounds all of us!
.
Thank you for sharing this glorious experience. All the best. Mitch
This is incredible, it really does sound like a waterfall!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for your work! So beautiful. I raise Monarchs in Winnipeg Canada, can’t wait for their arrival🦋🦋🦋

Stunning to see and hear this on your recording, thanks for that beautiful moment!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this miracle. 🙏🌈💕
Thank you very much! That was amazing! Made me cry, it was so beautiful!
that was amazing. I stop and pause when i see a monarch in my yard...one.. now u have given me another thing to experience on my bucket list. Thank you! ps my native milkweed and plants are ready for them. Send some to my house in So Cal.
They’re on their way! 🦋
I collect the eggs and caterpillars and raise them. They get fresh milkweed and protection from predators. I also plant milkweed wherever I can. There is milkweed vine that they love!
I am going to play this to my daugther so she knows what Mr. Brown sounds like when he make the soft whispers of a butterfly. :D
😂
This is amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to record this video and sharing with us! It was made with love and I am grateful to you and people like you, thank you so much ❤.

Thank you for this. I am transported at a time when we are so desperate for reminders of the beauty of nature.
Butterflies 🦋 are amazing and my absolutely favorite insects. They sound so peaceful, I wish I could hear it
i thought i have nothing. but then i have ears to listen to this amazing sound... i feel so blessed
This is surreal ! I hope to see this myself someday !
It’s sounds so peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful to see can only imagine what it is to experience it.
Brilliantly spoken, thank you for sharing your journey in seeing the butterflies in better spirits indeed, I apreashate it a great deal, it was well thought out and harmoniously spoken in refferance to the nature of the butterflies spirit. Thank you.
Totally enchanting to see and hear. I've got goosebumps! Just beautiful and amazing to behold. Mother Nature whispering through the butterflies.
Wow, this is beautiful. All glory to God the Creator!

Hello This is Leo I'm 7 and I want to save monarch butterflies! czcams.com/video/odNDM6n-Ilo/video.html
That’s so beautiful and so very precious .. millions and millions of Monarch butterflies oh so incredible … 🙏❤️🌏❤️
Oh my God! Amazing nature... Thank You very much for this..
I live on the gulf coast, the northern portion. One year I planted a row of bottlebrush plants, I wanted them for a privacy wall. About two years later, I woke up to all the bushes being covered in monarch butterflies. I was absolutely shocked at the amount of butterflies. They lingered around for several days, and as quickly as they appeared, they left. I didn’t realize when I planted this row of shrubs that I was helping nature, it brought something very special to my attention. I will never forget this experience, it was so heartwarming.🥰They’ve never been back in that large of a number, but I do see monarch butterflies in my yard quite often.🤗🦋
That was breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video.
I've been blessed enough to witness the Monarch migration when I was young. It was amazing.❤🦋
Awesome..thank you for the sounds! Keep up your work.
Thank you for a beautiful emotional experience. It’s critically important that we each do our job as temporary custodians of Earth.
Thank You SO much for this Amazing footage!!!!
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Crying. Thank you sooooo much, from the bottom of my soul.
🌸 wow that’s amazing, it just took my breath away....it’s like a whole new magical world, just enchanted with the forest and the butterflies 💕💗💖✨
Thank you so much for sharing this, it melted my current stress away....it was exactly like listening to gently water falling
And I get so excited when I see one monarch laying eggs on my milkweed. That has to be so amazing to see in person.
I visited one of the reserves in Mexico and the sound of the fluttering really stuck with me. Family that was there too forgot about it but quickly remember when I mention.... some medics might think it was just me being a bit delusional though since I recall explaining the experience before going under for a surgery (they were trying to keep me distracted and calm while the anesthesia kicked in)
I am a nature photograher and my biggest thrill is to find butterflies to photograph! Nature is thee most miraculous HEALING experience from our Creator. It is so uplifting. ❤️🙏❤️This Spring... I shall plant Milkweeds everywhere! 🦋
Wow!
It's like a ticker-tape parade of colorful confetti,
Only it's in the middle of the forest!
And that's really cool how it does sound like a distant waterfall, thank you sir.
I am a sound designer and I listen to a lot of sounds every day. This is probably one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. You can clearly distinguish the delicacy of all those little wings fluttering. Thank you Phil Torres for this!
This deserves more views than it has now!!!
The next time I go to a waterfall I will close my eyes and think of all these beautiful butterflies 🦋
Thank you soooo much for sharing this BEAUTY who - yes! - needs to be protected.
Sounds like a wind blowing the autumn leaves away 😍
