Butterflies live all over the world. Different butterflies can live in different environments and climates. Although they live in different environments, butterflies mostly live in tropical areas like the tropical rain forest. Depending where the butterfly lives, the butterfly migrates. Butterfly migration is not well understood. For example is a butterfly lives in La Paz, Bolivia it will only be here during spring and summer because if it is here during winter and fall the butterfly will die. Many of the butterflies that need to migrate migrate short distances, but some like the Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles.
