Des Moines, Iowa – Springtime in Iowa is not just about blooming flowers; it’s also about the skies coming alive with the vibrant colors of monarch butterflies.
Every year, these winged wonders travel thousands of miles from their winter home in Mexico to grace Iowa with their presence. As the weather warms up, fields of wildflowers and milkweed become the perfect backdrop for this natural spectacle.
The journey of these monarchs is nothing short of miraculous. Starting as early as March, they begin their migration, with millions expected to flutter into Iowa by late May. The sight of these butterflies is a reminder of the incredible resilience and beauty of nature.
But it’s not just about admiring their beauty. Milkweed is essential for their survival, providing a place for monarchs to lay their eggs and for their caterpillars to feed. By keeping an eye out for milkweed and creating pollinator-friendly gardens, you can play a part in supporting these amazing creatures on their epic journey.
The migration patterns of monarch butterflies are a subject of fascination and study. While their exact arrival can be hard to predict, one thing is for sure – when they arrive, they bring with them the magic of spring.
So, as you step outside this spring, keep your eyes peeled for the flutter of orange and black wings. The monarchs are on their way, and they’re ready to put on a show!
