Even more remarkable is the painted lady butterfly only lives for about a month, so it takes many generations to make the journey north to the UK and then many generations to get back to Africa. Incredible how it knows when it hatches if it is a North or Southbound generation - but they do know.
Amazing seeing as they fly like a drunk walking home from the pub.
Don't think they make it in a one'r, sure they have a breed cycle half way or more?Not what they were saying on TV last night.

it says they only live for 2 to 4 weeks. so if they leave Morrocco in April and get back there in October then that could be 9 generations. they must know at birth whether they are to stay put, head north or head south.
Like many of these things I guess no one really knows for sure and undoubtedly different scientists will have varying opinions and theories - whatever though, it is a remarkable little creature.
