Butterflies of California's Journal

This June, we’re celebrating the third-year anniversary of the launch of the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge, a national initiative to bring back the bees. June 19-26 is Pollinator Week, but we are celebrating pollinators all month long.

We admire butterflies. And while they are often portrayed as fragile creatures, they could also be accurately described as resilient. They have a surprisingly challenging lifestyle. Painted lady butterflies migrate up to 350 miles a day while monarch butterflies migrate around 3,500 miles in a single migratory window — the longest of any insect migration.
