I've seen them in California at the "Natural Bridges State Park" but it was too early in the season and only a few hundred had gathered.  This was about all I saw.

Please look at this excerpt from the Expansion section of this lesson.

>No supe que era una hembra hasta que me lo explicó.
>(I didn't know it was male until he explained it to me.)

 

These two statements contradict each other..'hembra' is female,, and the English version says the opposite....'it was male'....

De niña crecíamos las plantas que atraían las mariposas monarcas.  Teníamos las mariposas monarcas en el jardín a menudo.  Qué bonita!

En diciembre fui con unos amigos a ver las monarcas en Mexico.  Fue bien impresionante!  Había mariposas por todas partes...en el aire, en los árboles, en la tierra. Casi no pudimos caminar.  Si tienen la oportunidad de ir a Michoacán, les recomiendo que visiten un santuario.  Un día claro con mucho sol es lo mejor.

The mistake is fixed. Hembra is female. You are right.

he visto las mariposas monarcas en 'natural bridges' tambien kevinryn. estaban muchos en el arboles. hay mariposas en california que miran similar pero no son monarcas. we went hiking on mt. diablo over the weekend and there were hundreds of baby butterflies flying in the road (they looked like they had just 'hatched' and i was very upset because we were hitting some of them with my boyfriends van) he reminded me they have very short lives..... but as a vegetarian who does not drive it was still hard to handle...

He leido que mariposas monarcas necesitan tres generaciones viajar de Canada a Michoacan.  Creo que es asombroso que algo tan pequeno puede volar tan lejos.

I have read that monarch butterflies need three generations to travel from Canada to Michoacan.  I think that it's amazing that something so small can fly so far.
