Did you know that the monarch butterfly actually flies from New York to South America to breed? Picture something as fragile as a butterfly travelling thousands of miles! Leave it to Mother Nature…

I find that difficult to believe. Think of how fragile moths are and the amount of stress the moth would be under to go that fast. It would explain why though they make such a mess when they hit your windscreen. 80mp car speed plus 55mp moth speed gives an impact of 135mp, very messy :) Stella 55 m.p.h???
