Most people know that some birds migrate thousands of miles, but did you know that a tiny butterfly does too? The beautiful orange and black monarch butterflies are the insect kings in this department. Can you even comprehend a butterfly weighing less than a gram leaving Canada in the autumn to endeavor and complete a treacherous journey over 2,000 miles to reach a wintering spot in California or Mexico?

How they find their way was a mystery, known only by the Creator, until 2002 when the National Academy of Sciences researched and concluded that the monarchs checked the position of the sun to guide them, rather than using the earth’s natural magnetic field as some scientists had proposed.

The amazing migration of the monarch butterfly is another proof of our great Creator God.
