I have a question for all you monarch butterfly genuses?

About an hour ago I walked into the back yard to call my dachshunds into the house. Jack my youngest dachshund didn't come. I found him around the corner of the yard. Along with 15 to 20 monarch butterflies. They are still outside landing on dandelions. I live in Casper Wyoming and want anyone to tell me why they are in my yard. It's so cool.

    I'm in Dallas and started seeing waves of them heading North in early March...guess they are in your yard since you let the dandelions go to bloom

    They are migrating from Mexico [their winter home] to the north for summer. They have stopped to rest and feed.
