Monarch butterflies typically arrive in Fort Morgan, Colorado, during their migration in the fall, around late September to early October. They travel south from their breeding grounds in Canada and the northern United States to their wintering sites in Mexico. During this time, you can often see them as they pass through the area, seeking food sources and rest stops along the way.
Very few types of butterflies hibernate. Most of them just die off in the winter, leaving their eggs to hatch and start a new generation the next year. The monarch is the one species that migrates southward for the winter. Only the tortoiseshells, mourning cloak, and a few anglewings actually "hibernate" as adult butterflies and come back out in the spring.
Butterflies can come in a variety of colors, depending on the species and individual characteristics. Some common colors seen in butterflies include shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and black. The vibrant colors of butterflies often serve as a mechanism for attracting mates or warning predators.
