Monarch Butterflies are currently migrating south to overwinter in forests high in the mountains of Mexico. Many of these essential pollinators can be seen at the Zoo's Butterfly Garden as well as various other spots in the Zoo feeding on wild flower nectar or resting in trees! We can help monarchs in both the spring and fall by planting native plants, especially milkweed, and providing habitat resources! #monarch #butterfly #pollinators #wildflowers | Lee Richardson Zoo
