The Monarch Butterfly is the best-known butterfly in North America. These gentle and spectacular creatures are known for their long annual migration spanning from Canada to Mexico. Monarchs begin traveling south in August and return north in the spring, bringing joy, wonder and amazement to people throughout their travels.
The Monarch Butterfly has become a symbol of Cape May because the tip of the Cape May peninsula serves as a crucial stopover point before they make their trip across the Delaware bay. The Monarchs can be seen in large numbers throughout Cape May beginning at the end of August through October. Hang this ornament on your tree as a reminder of the Cape May Monarchs.
