Monarch butterflies are now on the waiting list for being named an Endangered Species.
Right now, there are around 160 species in front of the monarch waiting to be listed as well. With a dwindling population, experts say the insects need to be listed soon before they go extinct.
There are currently around 180 monarchs at the Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach. That s compared to roughly 6,700 last year, according to State Parks. The overall population of the country s most widely recognized butterfly is diminishing rapidly as well.
