in the Atlantic? likely it was blown off course, they're obviously very light and winds play a large factor in their migration

it's not unusual to spot a monarch somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, like an oil rig, but it's not entirely clear how many try to take that 900 mile flight... it's more likely they're blown off course and won't make it to shore unless wind conditions are just right enough to carry them

Yes this was in the Atlantic. I saw quite a few in Bermuda. I’m not sure if they migrate or just live there full time. Either way it was strange and I often wonder how it got there.

Here are some older HN discussions on the declining butterfly population.

I only selected those that are at least 5 years old.
