Every end of September, beginning of October we witness the mass migration of millions of small yellow butterflies. They always travel east to west.
Since they must mate and lay eggs somewhere between Loreto and the ocean they must land somewhere, mate and lay eggs to puppate and turn into
butterfly offspring.
Question: How come we never see those critters returning east at any time of year in the same masses as they arrived in Sep/Oct. Have been wondering
about this for 3 decades and thought it be time for my knowing Nomad friends to finally answer my question.
So, where are they coming from and where are they settling and then how come they don't go east in the same quantities with which they arrived.?
