It took quite some time before people found out where the monarch butterflies were migrating to during the fall season. The monarchs were leaving southern Canada and heading south annually to Angangueo, a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán. These butterflies travel some 2,000 or more miles to this sprawling, sunlit valley just outside of Angangueo. Known as the El Rosario Butterfly Sanctuary, here you'll find millions of monarchs at home, and from morning until just after noon, the butterflies scatter from their resting places and fill the sky. It's an awe-inspiring spectacle as the butterflies swarm over the horizon, but after this time of day, they begin to latch back onto trees, leaves or whatever burrow they can find, which is another treat for macro shots.
