Re: Monarch Butterfly Swarm

Wow! Beautiful. It's amazing how those spy camera's can get right into the action. The people are really clever who invent them.

Barbara Kingsolver's fabulous book "Flight behaviour" is all about Monarch butterflies.

Re: Monarch Butterfly Swarm

fantastic video, Muddy. Thank you. Mother nature at her finest.
Though Monarchs will eat a variety of plants, their favorite seems to be the common milkweed.
