Monarch Butterflies Stop in OK | Oklahoma City News

Monarch butterflies are on their epic southern migration, using Oklahoma as a crucial corridor en route to Mexico—yet their numbers are plummeting due to habitat loss and climate change, earning them a “vulnerable” status.

Peak sightings occur late September through early October, often clustering around milkweed and nectar plants near I-35. In OKC, Myriad and Will Rogers Gardens offer prime viewing spots.
