There's a facebook site in Mexico that reports on the migration.

If you're nervous about going to the facebook site, below the link are=20

THE MONARCHS HAVE ARRIVED TO THEIR HIBERNATION SANCTUARY IN MEXICO!

At 15:42 hours this Thursday, November 06, the first official sighting of=
=20
Monarch butterflies was registered in the place known as Los Letreros,=20
Sierra Campanario, within the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, in the=
=20
El Rosario Sanctuary, Ocampo municipality, Michoac=C3=A1n.

The information was shared by Juan Gomez, who reported the arrival of the=
=20
first Monarchs to the sanctuary, marking the beginning of the hibernation=
=20
season 2025-2026.

The official opening of sanctuaries in Mexico is scheduled for November=20
21, 2025.

Although the first butterflies have already reached their destination, the=
=20
migration is still continuing along the migratory route.

We invite everyone to look up into the sky, visit parks and gardens, and=
=20
stay tuned to record and report their Monarch butterfly sightings.

Each observation contributes to better understanding of their journey and=
=20
strengthening conservation actions.
Welcome, Monarchs!


500 MONARCH BUTTERFLIES FLY TO MEXICO WITH TRANSMITTERS GLUED TO THEIR=20
BODIES

For the first time in history, 500 Monarch butterflies travel on their=20
annual migration from Canada and the United States to the oyamel forests of=
=20
the State of Mexico and Michoacan with a light transmitter attached to=20
their chest, which weighs only 60 milligrams, the same as a grain of rice.

The =E2=80=9CMonarch Collaboration Project,=E2=80=9D led by David La Puma,=
former director=20
of the Cape May Bird Observatory in New Jersey and current leader of Global=
=20
Markets Development for Cellular Tracking Technologies (CTT), aims to study=
=20
the Monarch Butterfly migration with an unprecedented level of detail.

Transmitters, between five and eight centimetres in length, operate on=20
solar and Bluetooth, making it easier to detect the Monarch Butterfly=20
through new technologies, as well as existing networks such as Motus towers=
=20
and Terra stations.

According to Roc=C3=ADo Trevi=C3=B1o, coordinator of the Royal Mail Progra=
m,=20
dedicated to following the migration of the Monarch Butterfly, a couple of=
=20
weeks ago it crossed to Mexico through the border of Coahuila, the first=20
female with a satellite transmitter.

After 37 days and 2,362 kilometers traveled, the specimen named LPM021=20
arrived in our country after being released last September 13 at Long=20
Point, Ontario, Canada.

The Monarch Butterfly was spotted on October 19 at 16:53 p.m., near La=20
Presa de la Mistad in Ciudad Acu=C3=B1a, Coahuila.

"It's interesting the system they're using right now, it's not common yet,=
=20
it's still expensive, but this year they're going to see if it works,"=20
Roc=C3=ADo Trevi=C3=B1o commented.

According to the Cellular Tracking Technologies portal, each 2.4 Gigahertz=
=20
(GHz) ultralight radio label for the Monarch Butterfly costs $175, plus the=
=20
data plan it must have to transmit in real-time.

Through the Monarch Proyect App downloaded for free on the mobile phone,=20
anyone can participate in this project that allows the collection of=20
important data about the migration of the Monarch Butterfly to hibernation=
=20
sanctuaries in Mexico.
