Millions of North American monarch butterflies undergo a stunning long-distance migration to reach their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Migration allows the butterflies to escape freezing temperatures and dying host plants, and reduces infections with a virulent parasite. In this we discuss the multigenerational migration journey, its evolutionary history, pathway, climate affecting factors. Monarchs use bidirectional time- compensated sun compass for orientation, which is based on a time- compensating circadian clock that resides in the antennae, and which has a distinctive molecular mechanism. The monarch butterfly has emerged as an excellent system to study the ecological, neural, and genetic basis of long distance animal migration.
