The monarch butterfly has the longest migration of any butterfly species. They can fly from southern Canada to Mexico, a distance of 3000 miles. However, most of those that make the long journey South will not make it all the way back to their starting point. Instead, they will fly North until they find suitable habitat (milkweed plants), mate and lay eggs, then die. The offspring will fly further North, and the migration will continue in this stepping stone fashion.
