The fireflies (kazulo/kazule) are a pleasure to watch during monsoon times, especially in remote villages where the night can really be pitch dark. Even the stars can be gazed in plentiful and really an experience.
Canadian Monarch Butterflies: and their amazing stroy: Of all migrations by small creatures, few are as astonishing as the one performed by the Monarch butterfly. The embodiment of fragility, these insects travel between 1,200 and 2,800 miles or more between their starting and ending points -- a feat without parallel. What is even more remarkable is that the ones that return to the places where Monarchs hibernate have never been there before. These are the great-great-great-grandchildren of those that performed the intrepid journey from southeast Canada and the United States to central Mexico. http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/finder/monarchbutterflies/monarchbutterflies.html MD.

We must oppose any pesticide sprays on our campus.
