Symbolic Migration


Our paper monarchs migrated to Mexico this past winter. Now, the monarchs return to Illinois. Just like the real monarchs, the ones who have migrated do not return to us. Over 50 symbolic butterflies arrived in Illinois in May. Some came from as far away as Germany! We had one that came from our neighbor to the north, Canada. We also received a letter from a school teacher and a student who helped care for our butterflies. They were a little tough to understand because they were in Spanish! Luckily we had a college student helping in our room who was able to translate for us.
