Monarch butterflies rebound in Mexico
Scientists are marveling at the impressive comeback of Monarch butterflies, which once again are carpeting the fir trees of central Mexico in a sea of orange and black wings, despite a deadly freeze last year that killed hundreds of millions.
Hard rains and biting cold in the central states of Michoacan and Mexico in January 2002 killed 75 percent to 80 percent of the Monarch butterflies that make a 2,000-mile journey from the eastern United States and Canada.
