Particularly famous migrations are those of the Monarch butterfly from Mexico to northern USA and southern Canada, a distance of about 4000 to 4800 km (2500–3000 miles). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly#Migration The round trip takes two or three generations to complete, because of the short individual life span http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Butterflies.aspx Butterflies can only fly if their body temperature is above 86 degrees http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/butterfly/allabout/ Quotations about Butterflies http://www.quotegarden.com/butterflies.html Don't help butterflies be born http://inspirationmanifestation.com/505/flight-of-the-butterfly/
