The annual migration of monarch butterflies is one among science’s nice mysteries: thousands and thousands of monarchs know the right path although they’ve by no means made the lengthy journey themselves. As 60 Minutes discovered, the expedition to observe the migration might be its personal problem.
“60 Minutes” is probably the most profitable tv broadcast in historical past. Providing hard-hitting investigative reviews, interviews, characteristic segments and profiles of individuals within the information, the printed started in 1968 and continues to be a success, over 50 seasons later, commonly making Nielsen’s Prime 10.

One of the coolest things I had experienced.
Blessed to have parents native to such a beautiful place not only the largest producer of avocados in the world but also the monarch butterfly is our symbol of life .
Beautiful what a dream to visit such a place so I am writing a short book on this. Thank you for sharing. It helps me keel the image I had in my head of this location. ❤Can't wait to visit one day!
Wau amazing and impress😮
I planted the butterfly plant around my house.
Thank you for sharing this behind the scenes 60 minute video. Our Earth is a beautiful place! I am adding this to my list of future experiences. Appreciate your storytelling too.
So many smiles!
It is so magical, and not as hard as he says to get there, but hiking up to the tops of the mountain isnt for those out of shape.
My mom and I spoke of this often. Makes me think of her. Just lost her in April. I always think of her when I see monarch butterflies. ❤
Super
Because CO2 I have never seen butterfly around California in America for now…..
My Sustainability Book Club read The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World by Oliver Milman last month and he discussed how the trees that are being planted are being planted higher and higher up the mountain due to climate change but they eventually will not have any higher to go.
Shrink your lawn and grow natives for them (milkweed, blazing star, sunflowers, goldenrods and asters, among others). And please follow pages like Homegrown National Park, Pollinator Partnership, Xerces Society and others. Plant now. Celebreate Pollinator Week – June 16-22 🦋🦋🦋
Thanks Anderson for ur report nd ur courage old man lol! I'm kidding but I'm glad u got to experience this awesome godly event! God's creation is perfection to its best ❤….Stay safe nd blessed
Monarchs mean everything ❤
Now you know why the more general term for a group of butterflies, a “flutter” of butterflies just doesn’t really work for monarchs. We are working to get “an amazement of monarchs” into the lexicon of animal group names. That only happens when the term is used repeatedly in different settings. It is one more simple way to help keep this migration from extinction. Please, everyone, use it as often as you can, on websites, in videos, anywhere.
They are so gorgeous. We see them in CA. 💙
Anderson's just tired of reporting on Trump related news.
For the first time within last 2 years 60 MINUTES was ON TIME at 7.00 as they 99% of time they DRAGE sport JUNK. 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Mr. Cooper, you are more beautiful than these butterflies, provided you value yourself and look at the world differently.
At :36, you can see the little pieces of damage on the wings…. wow! Lovely! Thank you!
Cooper going to get a lower back butterfly tattoo now. 😂
I live near a Monarch sanctuary the numbers have declined in the past few years
Thank you Mexico
But dont leave any comments on the regime
How beautiful!
It’s like heaven on earth. It really is like heaven on earth. What a site to behold . We are all so lucky to be here 🌎✨❤
Maybe….he finally gets to ESCAPE IT
We use to see them migrate through Boise Idaho. It's been since I was a child since the last migration I saw out here in idaho.
Let's all help to preserve them! Many people believe that planting a LOT of flowers is enough to help to preserve butterflies. While flowers feed the adult butterflies, it's the HOST PLANTS that feed their babies/caterpillars **each species of butterfly lay eggs on different host plants, which are easy to grow, but NEVER use pesticides.** Obviously, it's impossible to cover the whole topic in a YouTube post, but here's a little info about a few species of butterflies along with their host plants to get you started:
MONARCHS and QUEENS: Milkweed species (My favorite – Asclepias curassavica, but there are several others)
GULF FRITILLARY, ZEBRA LONGWING & JULIA: Passionflower Vines (Passiflora incarnata, suberosa, maypop…)
GIANT SWALLOWTAIL, LIME BUTTERFLY: Citrus species, Prickly Ash, Wild Lime…)
EASTERN TIGER SWALLOWTAIL: (Tulip tree, wild black cherry, sweet bay, basswood, ash, wafer ash, red maple, American elm, and sassafras)
WESTERN TIGER SWALLOWTAIL: (willows, aspens, cottonwoods, alders, and ashes)
BLACK SWALLOWTAIL, ANISE SWALLOWTAIL, and GIANT SWALLOWTAIL: Rue, basil, parsley, dill, fennel, and other carrot family members
PIPEVINE SWALLOWTAIL: Pipevines/Calico flower (Aristolochia family)
WHITE BUTTERFLIES: Mustard greens, kale, collard greens, broccoli and cabbage family.
YELLOW BUTTERFLIES: Partridge Pea, Wild Senna, and Senna.
Different regions have different butterflies. Google your area and their "HOST PLANTS".
Magical
I found around 6 monarch caterpillars on my milkweed plants on Hacienda Hts. California. Is this too early for them to form.
I did this trip and it was life changing! So magical 💖
My son did a project on this 25 years ago. I am so glad it is still happening. Thank you.
What a beautiful gift
Bill Owen, we will miss you! I love the Monarch butterflies, too, but is this the real story today? Is CBS folding, too?
We have a greenhouse & nursery where we raise milkweeds for folks to plant for monarchs in north central MN zone 3. Thank-you for putting in the huge efforts doing this piece so we may be more encouraged to do what we do. When I was a child i used to pull milkweeds from soybean fields on our family farm in southern MN so I have come full circle in growing 4 kinds of milkweeds. This is like a cathedral♡♡♡
I’m so jelly I’ve always wanted to see that personally
I went from having a couple of dozen caterpillars five years ago with less milkweed than I currently have to not seeing a single one for a couple of years now…
Breathtaking! Thank you, Anderson, for taking us with you on this expedition. ❤🦋🦋
Thank you to every single person who made this video possible ! I know I'll never see it in person ~ so Thank You ALL !❤❤❤
A group of butterflies is called a “kaleidoscope.”😊
Saw that in WI as a kid in the 60’s. Used to be so many.
2:22 sunshine changes everything
Breathtaking
