Monarch butterflies are commonly found throughout Vermont and are even the state butterfly. They prefer open meadows, weedy areas, marshes, roadsides, and disturbed habitats with milkweed, as milkweed is essential for their survival as caterpillars. They are also known to utilize late summer/early fall clover fields as stopover habitats.
