(Editor’s Notě: About those butterflies,
1 know what Stella means. It's an
amazing sight and an incredible jour-
ney! Like migratory birds, monarch
butterflies háve evolved the ability to
fly long distances, escaping winter cold
and the absence of food. Decreasing
day length and cooler temperatures telí
monarchs that emerge in the early fall
not to breed. Instead they begin the
immense journey across North
America, over unfamiliar terrain, fun-
neling through Texas, to nine high
mountain sites in fir forests of centrál
Mexico. They arrive at the wintering
areas in November, remaining there
until March of the following spring.
