More than a million Monarch butterflies die frozen in Michoacan
Almost half million Monarch butterflies in Michoacan died frozen by the recent snowfall recorded temperatures of 12 degrees below zero, says Homero Gomez Gonzalez, president of the Board of Directors of the El Rosario sanctuary.
However, they have found that many still breathe and fly again as the sun melts the snow.
According to his calculations, three percent of the 50 million butterflies arrived this season to the nature reserve died frozen and buried, after the snow generated by the winter storm reach 11 to 35 centimeters thick.
On the other hand, the official says Lepidoptera have found that many still breathe and fly again as the sun melts the snow.
Getting warmer? The boots on the ground data do not say so.
