Insect Migration Studied by Professor Riley
Professor Riley reports that insect migration rises as populations outpace food supply. Rats and other animals migrate when pressed by scarcity, and large insect swarms occur from South America’s equator to U S regions. Butterflies migrate at sea and through the southwestern states, often noted in September October and sometimes spring. A coffee cultivation effort in California is described with a Contra Costa tree bearing berries.
