Each fall untold numbers of monarchs pass through Georgia enroute to their winter home in Mexico. If you are a fan of these amazing insects, you might be wondering how many miles do monarchs fly southward in a single day.
As you might expect, the distance travelled depends on several factors. For example, with favorable winds, thermals, and temperatures, these winged jewels might cover up to 100 miles in a single day. On the other hand, they often fly as little as 25 miles per day. On average though, they typically fly an average of 25-30 miles per flight. The record distance flown in a day is an amazing 265 miles!
