I still wonder about the butterflies in the conservatory though - I should visit again and find out what happens there. I think they live and die in the conservatory.<BR/><BR/>As you say, it is incredible that such delicate critters can travel so far.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-23906643777761239432009-01-30T08:26:00.000-05:002009-01-30T08:26:00.000-05:00The Oz monarchs are the same species, although we ...The Oz monarchs are the same species, although we used to call them Wanderers. I believe they move from inland to coast in winter - and do wander a lot looking for the right plant foods. They are NOT native to Oz, though! <BR/><BR/>I do know that once when I was walking the Hungarian steppes, I kept being passed every few minutes (humiliation!) by a Red Admiral butterfly going in the same direction.<BR/><BR/>My guide said they were on migration. They go around the Mediterranean to Africa! They migrate to Europe including UK in the summer. Incredible to think such fragile things can travel so far.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-72696256798537330402009-01-29T23:36:00.000-05:002009-01-29T23:36:00.000-05:00We should ask Glenda, Satima, I bet she, or her hu...We should ask Glenda, Satima, I bet she, or her hubby, would know.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-70818249989112797842009-01-29T23:09:00.000-05:002009-01-29T23:09:00.000-05:00Actually, no, I have no idea what they do.

I assume its a built in trait or instinct.
