They don't show what time it's on. That's one I'd watch too.

Thanks for posting this. I'll make sure to see it! We have a Butterfly Conservatory nearby and it's one of my favorite places.

That's nice. We can plug in our zip codes as we get a little closer to the date and pick our station and we'll have the time.

Hi all,
The PBS special airs at 8 p.m. ET. A preview is available on the Website http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/butterflies/ and it appears the entire show will be available on the site after it airs on TV. If anyone becomes inspired to support monarch habitat in North America, I have milkweed seeds as well as seeds and plants that supply nectar. To learn more about the summer habitat needs for the monarch, visit www.monarchwatch.org. I raise monarchs all summer and tag and release them in September in time for the migration. Viva la monarca!

It was very well done. Hubby kept saying "that's just incredible" so much I was having trouble hearing the narrator.
![]() I'd say we both enjoyed it. Did anyone catch what type of tree they roost on in Mexico?
