MONTREAL If you live in Canada, chances are you’ve seen a monarch butterfly before with its vivid-orange wings, delicate black markings and bright white spots, it’s pretty difficult to miss. The creature is a fixture of North American wilderness, feeding and breeding on milkweed plants across the continent. Each year, in preparation for winter, the monarch migrates from Canada and the northern U.S. to the temperate climates of Mexico and California just like many birds do. The monarch is the only known butterfly to make this kind of migration. But with every year, fewer and fewer monarchs are returning north in the spring, as their journey home has grown increasingly treacherous.
