I call it the Divine art of nature - thank you, Lord.🙏👏❤️😍

Saw a pretty solo Monarch in Western NY yesterday.
-
I saw a video of them flying and clustering awhile ago. There was a special drone type camera that flew in, it was designed specifically so they couldn't get caught up in it's parts. I've been lucky in seeing a couple kaleidoscopes in my life, though never this large.

😳😳
-
That is pure beauty.
-
Wow what an awesome site!
-
I’ve got a couple Monarchs in chrysalis, soon to join the migration!!
-
An absolute wow. Breathtaking.
-
Wow! Amazing nature!
-
They’re even leaving United States
-
💛 🦋💛

A few years ago I started growing a large patch of milkweed for the monarchs. We bring in the eggs, feed the caterpillars and release dozens of them every year. We are on our last batch. This will be the wave that flies to Mexico. Safe travels, my beauties.
-
At first glance, I thought it was a lit-up Christmas tree.
-
Absolutely amazing
-
They are so amazing!!
-
Wow!
-
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
-
All this time I thought they liked milkweed 😉
-
I am hoping to see them at Point Peelee this year. I saw a monarch in my yard this weekend and it reminded me 👑🦋

Nature is truly amazing. I live in Upstate NY but I haven't seen one Monarch.😢
-
Beautiful 🤩
-
That's Incredible. I keep a big patch of milkweed to attract them,but never seen that many at once
-
Just a beautiful site as is whale watching. There are several vessels that go out from here.
-
What I find amazing is the migration is multi-generational.
None in that photograph survived to Mexico.
-
Beautiful.♡
-
Are they SURE they want to migrate HERE?!
-
I'm sorry, that is quite scary.
-
🧡🧡🧡🧡
-
Wow! 💙👍
-
I saw this at San Simeon, CA, and it looked like the trees were breathing. Awesome experience 😄
-
Even the butterfly left American in case he enslave them or spiders trooper after them for crossing the border.
-
It was Point Pelee, they journey from Mexico to Point Pelee to escape the cold weather.
-
Sixty some years ago this was one of the books that really sparked my interest in natural history. I still have it in my office.

That is my religion Nature

Just reposted this picture my son took last year of this Monarch butterfly over on X.
A beautiful Monarch butterfly. Nature at its best. Unfortunately this species is facing extermination thanks to Geoengineering and chemtrails.
-
We are all waiting for the “winds of change”. Learn from the monarchs. 🦋
-
Wow. I didn’t know they gathered there. Breathtaking. So happy to see them.
-
One of the most magical photos I've ever seen 🤩
-
Wow!!! Thank you so much for brightening the day with this beautiful scene
-
Whoa!!!! That’s so cool!
-
Have never seen or knew of this - thank you for posting. It’s amazing
-
I hope they still do.
-
So cool
-
About 13 years ago, we had a tree in our back yard when we lived in eastern South Dakota, and monarchs were all over the trunk like this. It’s such a special thing to witness. Beautiful!
-
Absolutely beautiful 😍
-
Gorgeous
-
Awesome!
-
Did you take the photo? Can I share it?
-
Wow amazing!!
-
Amazing! Nature is truly awe inspiring!
-
Wow!🧡
-
I’ve seen smaller orange butterflies do that, by the thousands, in hay fields, in upstate Pennsylvania!!
-
What a sight!!
-
This, salmon runs, and hibernating bears. Humans don't come close to the awe this inspires (very many of them anyway).
-
It takes 4 generations of Monarch Butterflies to complete their annual migration. Pretty cool, huh?
-
I saw this when I was a young adult. From a distance I couldn’t figure out why tree was turning orange a month before fall. Saw in Illinois state park.
-
Absolutely beautiful
-
Wow
-
It’s beautiful. It’s a little scary. It’s tender and fragile and we all hope they make it.
-
Amazing sight! You are fortunate to have witnessed it - many times.
-
Love monarch butterflies
-
Not like the real thing, but was fun to create. Enjoy!
MONARCH
Monarch is a short piece I created to 'stretch my wings' so to speak and dive more into #unrealengine layout and niagara particle systems. It was created…
-
Oh my, how awesome
-
Wow who could imagine thousands of butterflies are just chilling there from afar.
-
awe inspiring. magical.
-
remember it well …(Point Pelee; stupid AI ! )
-
Thank you for the beautiful share!
-
And only an hour from Detroit.
-
"Point Pelee" Just saying.
-
I've been so excited this year to find between 25-30 monarch caterpillars on my milkweed plants! They completely stripped them bare and even ate the seed pods, and I was happy for it!
-
Magnificent!
-
❤️
-
Amazing!!! 😍

Not Canada!
-
Wow

😊😊😊😊😊

I remember seeing this on Lake Erie, my uncle had a lake house and I wandered around in the woods and found a tree just like that... I was 8? I remember being a bit freaked out cause they were landing on me... lol
-
Incredible!
-
Just WOW!
-
I hear their population is growing? We've seen more here in the Bay Area of California than I can recall in quite some time...
-
That is freaking amazing. May the monarchs be back in force one day.
-
Beautiful!!
-
oh, I hope this is a current image - this is the dream!
-
Wow!
-
That’s incredible.
-
Plant milkweed.
Or at least don't cut it down.
-
I held it together today until I saw this picture... I'm in tears
-
They no longer visit the U.S. because of Trump .
-
It’s the most magical thing I’ve ever seen -
-
While sitting on the beach at Southwick State Park, NYS, on Lake Ontario on a crystal clear Autumn day a cloud suddenly blocked the sun. I looked up to see thousands of Monarch Butterflies migrating from Canada! It was jaw dropping!
-
One morning in Southern Illinois, I awoke to find all the trees in my yard turned orange overnight. They were covered with thousands of Monarch butterflies. It was a magical sight.
Bad weather had blown them off their regular course.
-
Even they refuse to go to the US anymore.
-
They come through Texas in October.
-
They are rare to see these days. I’ve seen a few in the past month though.
-
Gorgeous
-
This is the Oymel fir tree in central Mexico, where they winter. Google is my friend!
-
Stunning sight.
-
WOW!
-
Fantastic!
-
That looks beautiful. We appear to have killed our local colony. We've gone from tens of thousands to several hundred.
-
🥰
-
OMG🥰
-
Mother Nature at its best! 🇨🇦
-
The most spectacular thing is not that they gather on trees, but that they span several generations of butterflies, with each generation's offspring continuing the work!
-
I remember when I was a kid in Santa Rosa CA in the late 1960s and the sky would be blanketed with Monarch butterflies. If I remember correctly the school I went to was Monarch Elementary.
-
Can I get some new followers?
-
Pelee.
-
They used to cover the desert floor on their trip through Vegas. Not anymore.
-
Beautiful. Hopefully Climate change doesn't kill them off
-
Holy cow! Butterflies migrate that far? They seem so fragile I didn’t think they went far at all
-
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Beautiful!
-
Spectacular
-
Beautiful photo! I live about an hour away from the wildlife refuge where the monarchs gather in the winter here in México. A lot of them stop in at my little patio garden on their way. 🌸🦋🌼
-
Agreed…!
-
🧡
-
That would be a great puzzle.
-
So many. Gives me the creeps. But clearly gorgeous.
-
Did you mean Point Pelee?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_P...
Point Pelee National Park - Wikipedia
-
Beautiful!
-
Having smelled the stench of Donald Trump from across the U.S. border, the Monarch Butterflies worked together to save the tree by lifting it and moving it further North.
-
Impressive image. Some quibbles: it is Point Pelee, there are no trees of this size in the park. The image might be from Mexico where the Monarchs winter, but more probably is a fake.
-
I raise monarchs and I think they are one of the most beautiful creatures on earth!
-
Great photo!! When we moved from England we lived in Windsor, Ontario and used to visit Point Pelee regularly and rented a little cottage for the summer there. I have the fondest memories which started 70 years ago! Beautiful place!
-
Beautiful! I was out riding my horse when I was younger and happened upon a million migrating monarchs (in PA). It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.💙💙💙
-
The scales on a butterfly give the order their name lepidoptera which means scaly wings. The scales aid in flight, colouration, defence and even in warming the butterfly, with the surface of the scales being made from chitin. youtu.be/55kd9W3DMTo
-
Monarchs don’t just migrate, they inherit a map. Each generation somehow knows the same route, thousands of miles long. A living reminder that nature encodes memory better than any hard drive.
-
Wow this is so cool! I never knew about this before!
-
Just breathtaking!
-
It's Point Pelee National Park
-
👏🦋🇨🇦💪😎
-
Beautiful
-
I’m just admiring - need more beauty ❤️
-
W o o o w, goes to...
that's a long sentence without a breath, 🤪 and
the beauty that are butterflies 🦋
Great pic.
-
Wow!!!😳💚
-
This would be my idea of hell. I’m terrified of butterflies,moths and birds. Am sure there’s a name for this phobia,my family and friends name for it is “There she goes being a big cry baby” 😂😂😂
-
Wow that’s absolutely breathtaking
-
Our first three Falls in our current home, 1987-1990, we were fortunate to experience the monarch’s flights to Mexico on neighbors maple hedges just outside our porch which were covered with ribbons of orange. Sadly, older caretaker of neighbor hacked those gorgeous maple hedges.
-
Plant for them; they are dying.
-
This looks like some old photos from Pacific Grove, California - they were not fake (at least didn't used to be!) - where the monarchs would gather on the trunks of the pines, juniper and eucalyptus trees.
-
-
So sweet! Thank you for posting
-
Cool. 🦋
-
I've been to Mexico to see where their journey ended. It's absolutely amazing! We allow milkweed to grow all over our property and have tagged Monarchs in the past. Currently have 3 chrysalis on one side of our house with at least a dozen ready to form.
-
So beautiful. Thank you.
-
Just astonishing 💕
-
Wow
-
Wow. What a sight. I'm in Ontario. I need to see that in person!
-
This very same thing happened on a huge oak tree on my former property in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I could not believe what I was seeing. It was covered in shimmering orange/gold as they prepared to overnight before heading to Mexico in the morning.
-
Have been there. One of my favorite memories.
-
Not AI
-
We've missed the migration the past few years in northern SD, but get a straggler who comes through from time to time.
-
Enjoy them while we can. They are rapidly becoming endangered, primarily due to climate change
-
Year of photo taken? Seems it has been a while since I heard of monarchs doing this.
-
Unfortunately the Monarch Butterfly is in serious decline.

Support the endangered monarchs.
(No. Not the Hapsburgs)
-
So much beauty in Canada.
-
That is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing!
-
Wonderful. The monarch sanctuary in Pacific Grove in Monterey CA probably the same density of butterflies, but they're dispersed through the trees so are harder to see. They show up in October.
-
Saw my first one yesterday

-
😱 FANTASTIC!💖💖💖

Amazing

Beautiful and so peaceful 🥰
-
They are back!!!
-
1 butterfly = cute
10 butterflies = enchanting
100 butterflies = amazing
100+ butterflies = glitch in the matrix
-
I’m sure I’m in the super minority but butterflies give me the creeps. I’ve been a good sport. My kids raised them. Been to so many butterfly houses but they really creep me out.
-
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Mexico.
