I have a friend who grew up to be a Professor of Lepidoptera. I'm sure she knows way more about all insects than I do, but Lepidoptera is her specialty. So, she is listening to the radio: NPR: The world's oldest living monarch has died. C: Wha? How did they figure that out? Did it go back to Mexico to overwinter twice? NPR: The king of Thailand.... Ohhh....

She surely is an expert, I wonder how they know anyway.

@LadyDuck but when a butterfly expert hears something about a "monarch" you can understand what she thought...

I've seen them too, they are beautiful. Don't see them so much anymore, probably because I'm just not out as much these days.
