Here in the UK the Painted Lady migrates to and from North Africa. (The winter here is too cold for them)...Quite a journey.
The Red Admiral also migrates, though it can winter over in the far south of the UK.

In the US, the Monarch butterfly (and some other species) migrate. The Monarch's migration can be up to 3,000 miles.
