Monarch Butterflies Scientists have discovered the monarch butterfly to have a built-in magnetic compass and use it as a means for navigation in their annual migrations from fall breeding grounds in Canada to their winter havens in Mexico; over 2,500 miles one way. The amazing aspect of this navigational feat is that these butterflies are flying to a destination none of them have ever seen before yet they return to the same nesting area their ancestors used. It has long been known that Monarchs can navigate themselves by the sun, however this is the first direct evidence that they can also sense directions from the earth's magnetic field. It is important to note that this discovery is only a small step towards explaining how monarchs navigate. "What the butterflies are doing is very complicated". "They use things we can't perceive, maybe even things we can't conceive." References: Creation application: This is just one of so many examples of intelligent design. Claiming this ability is the result of a whole lot of time and a lot more luck would be to define it as a miracle but using a different term. |
