Each fall, these monarch butterflies migrate some 3,000 miles from southern Canada to central Mexico. Once in Mexico, they habitat together in fir trees, creating the illusion of an orange moss. While their quest begins now, they will remain in sunny Mexico until March until Canada calls them home. What I find interesting is that not one of these original monarchs will complete the round trip, but it will take four generations. . . each of them with an innate desire to return home. Here is a "charade" from Jane Austen's Emma (1815). The answer lies in what I have written. My first displays the wealth and pomp of kings,
Lords of the earth! their luxury and ease. Another view of man, my second brings, Behold him there, the monarch of the seas!
