National Start Seeing Monarchs Days is observed annually on the first Saturday in May. This day has been established to keep the Monarch butterfly from being added to the endangered species list.
The Monarch butterfly is a milkweed butterfly. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly because its wings feature an easily recognizable orange and black pattern. Monarchs typically reach 3 1/2 to 4″ in size. In the fall, they migrate south to warmer climates. In the spring, they return further north.
