Male Monarch nectaring on native Goldenrod at Cape May Point State Park in Cape May Point, New Jersey. Monarchs migrating south are in the midst of a 2,500-mile journey to Mexico to enjoy the warmer climate there. These fourth generation of Monarch butterflies are the only ones that migrate. They live for six to eight months until they again get ready to undertake the return migration north in the spring. Black spots on an inside surface of a Monarchs hind wings distinguishes males from females that have no such spots.
