We have migrating butterflies in Adelaide at the moment. Because there was heavy rainfall in inland Australia, there has been a population explosion. The Caper White butterfly ranges across Australia, Indonesia and Melanesia. When the temperatures cool down, in autumn, they’ll migrate back to Central Australia. These butterflies only live a few weeks. The ones that fly back north in autumn will be their children. They’ve never been there. How do they know where to go? Another butterfly that migrates is the Monarch of North America. The Monarchs that migrate south for the winter are four generations from the ones that migrated north. Again, how do they know where to go? They return to the same locations every year. Also, the ones that migrate south live for eight months whereas the other generations only live for two to six weeks. I find that fascinating, and very strange. This is another instance of having one pattern that works and sticking with it. That seems to work well for butterflies for a very long time. Nobody shows them the route. They don’t try a new one each year. Neither did the wasp. One method that works, repeated. It’s rule one in Tony Shepherd’s Profit Wormhole, and it’s the one most of us ignore. https://link.ckv.to/profit-wormhole Regards, It’s a gruesome way to die
