» BettyPine - I remember a PBS special about the migration

There was a PBS special some years back that showed the awesome numbers of Monarch butterflies that swarm on certain trees in Mexico. Millions all togehter, like an orange and black carpet of tapestry. Was very beautiful. And the special also showed what happens to some of them during the migration, as you say many don't make it, but have offspring that take over the journey.

But the masses of dead butterflies in those pictures are quite the opposite of seeing live ones but just as amazing because of the sheer number of them. I'm apt to believe that it's natures way for the most part. It's bound to happen after a number of years you'd think.

Thanks for a very interesting article.
