Monarch butterflies rebound after deadly freeze in North America
Scientists report a strong comeback as monarchs flood central Mexico forests in dense clusters. After a 2002 freeze killed 75 to 80 percent of the migratory butterflies and drought reduced sightings in the United States, estimates now range from 200 million to over 500 million insects gathering in a 20 acre forest area, a turnout double earlier expectations. Entomologist Chip Taylor of Monarch Watch notes the unexpected abundance.
