Since they don’t have eyelids, they enter a restful state called torpor—a kind of butterfly "power nap" where their activity slows down to conserve energy.

Happy #MonarchMonday! Have you ever wondered if monarch butterflies sleep?

While monarchs don’t sleep the way humans do, they do rest at night! As diurnal creatures, monarchs are active during the day and settle down at night in trees, shrubs, or other cozy, sheltered spots.

monarch butterflies cluster on trees in Mexico

In Mexico, monarchs cluster together in oyamel fir trees to stay warm during the winter. Each tree can hold thousands of butterflies, creating a vibrant tapestry. Have you ever seen this phenomenon in person?

Today's topic is the importance of diversity.

Pollinator habitats aren’t just for monarchs! By planting a diverse mix of native flowers, grasses, and shrubs, you create a thriving ecosystem that supports bees, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial wildlife.
