Well i wouldn't quite associate Mexico with the Monarch strictly. yes they
arrive in big numbers there buuuuut, here in California there are two
groves of them (apparently all the butterflies west of the missisippi come
here).

I had an idea similar, but using plants (since it's easier to find
something strictly endemic to one country and not another, such as the
Monarch)
