Every October millions of monarch butterflies migrate through Texas on their way to Mexico for the winter. But the monarch population has plummeted, along with bees and some other pollinators. That’s bad news for farmers since insects pollinate many of the foods we eat.  The good news is Texas is taking action to save the Texas state insect.
