Be a Monarch Butterfly Reporter for Terrestrials Podcast!

Did you know that monarch butterflies have one of the most amazing migrations in the world? Every fall, they fly from Canada through the US to the mountain forests of Mexico. Then, in spring, they fly all the way back.

Have you seen a monarch butterfly? Our friends at the Terrestrials podcast want to hear about it! They're working on an episode about the monarch's incredible journey and are collecting audio postcards from kids and families across North America until the end of August. Your voice just might make it into an episode of the Terrestrials podcast! 💖🦋
