Upon warm weather instinctively through metamorphosis it's time to start flutter testing newly minted wings then the orange covered trees coming alive waiting to leave their transient homes billions of orange wings drumming they decend in sheer abundance rocky mountains are aflame orange on streams forest over desolate houses man-made dams rivers and lakes and swamped to feast before to onward journey a valley of milkweeds the horde of marauders entwined confusion reign on blurry battle rages each frenzier than the other trying to satisfy to each a flower then each a leaf find to lay eggs to being them again be able to rampage again leave behind continue no need to stare looking back nothing last in motion of unison wings may drop to dust a new generation emerges to carry on.
This is a tiny weeny portion of the migration of the monarch butterflies. Over four thousands miles of epic journey from Canada only to lay their wings to die in the mountain of Mexico. There they began again flying up North. And it would take another two to three generations to succeed in reaching their intended destination.
