I live in an area that used to be a long one of the migration routes for them. There’s even a little Park / nature preserve near me that had a whole section dedicated to them. Informational kiosks, some butterfly artwork, a lot of flowering plants they enjoy. I haven’t seen a butterfly there in years. Most the plants are dead too but that’s cuz it’s way hotter and drier these days I imagine. Totally unrelated I’m sure…
I have to wonder though since the article didn’t mention but was there a Ghibelline Professor who disagreed?

I remember the migration being a big deal in Texas as a kid.
First was the splendor of thousands of butterflies descending on a clover field where kids were once playing rowdily.
Then, getting a little older and learning about their migration patters and such.
I worked in an Elementary public school back in Texas a dozen years ago. Talked to some of the teachers. Yeah, not on the curriculum and will not be.
As in, some teacher WANTED to teach kids about that shit, but the state said no, and the butterflies haven’t been cooperating.
Of course, cooperating is difficult when you’re dead.
