Watch a Breathtaking Monarch Butterfly Swarm

[@noela.9843]

I love how the hummingbird drone's turbine is covered to make sure it does not hurt the butterflies' fragile wings. Wholesome and lovely stuff to watch during the quarantine to lighten up things a bit.

[@ahmadtheIED]

Except it's not. Don't be fooled. The underside of the wings have exposed spinning fan blades. This is definitely a "Ohh, those lemmings definitely jumped themselves" moment in this documentary. Make no mistake, COUNTLESS butterflies were maimed in the filming of this footage when they flew from under the wings and into the fan blades.

[@Elementroar]

Ahmad Shahnawaz Proof please.

[@ahmadtheIED]

@Paddy O'Yakkin I'm a Chemical Engineer/Biochemist, so idk about this specifically but really, when you have a static motor generating upward lift to keep itself stable in the air... Imagine your old toy helicopter. When you used to make it sort of "hover" in place, if you ever felt the wind being sucked in from under it, that's because of this. According to my knowledge this hummingbird is nothing more than a machine designed to murder as many butterflies as humanly possible, while obtaining decent footage. The goal here is the butterfly Kill Count, the video is a small bonus designed to mock us and humiliate them.

[@Falafelzebub]

The other hummingbird.

[@maisieghosted3592]

Another hummingbird cam

[@leanvlogs]

You can clearly see the camera filming some of the takes (like the one where you see the humming bird) is a far superior camera than the one built into the humming bird. Quality difference between takes is noticeable. That focus and depth of field is impossible to be made by the camera embedded on the humming bird. It's made by a far bigger and superior camera. Maybe a drone, or idk. But clearly not another humming bird. So, yeah. Let's be real.

[@poppacapps5573]

You can become a tourist, but won't be able to get that close. I camped nearby in 1998. Most wonderful experience. But, at night, it was the coldest I ever remember. The butterflies don't hibernate there because its warm. Once the sun comes out it's shorts and sandals. I got very close to the spot where they were, but would probably be in prison to this day if I had gotten caught. Lifetime unforgettable experience, to be sure.,

[@jimmiepatrum]

Once several years ago, a most magical thing happened to me. My husband and I were walking beside a shallow stream where there was a warm mud puddle to the side of the stream. I didn't see the butterflies at first, but as I stepped in the puddle, oh my goodness! Hundreds ...I'm not exagerating...of butterlies suddenly rose up and flew round and round me in a circle. I was completely spellbound. Not a sound did they utter - not even the flapping of their wings made a noise. I've never had such a thing happen since and I thanked God that he let me experience a little vision of Heaven here on earth. I'll never forget this as long as I live. Diane in NC.

What really blows my mind is that not one of those monarchs have ever been there before, so somehow, the "instructions" for how to get to this spot must be contained within the DNA of the butterfly and it was there from the time the first egg/sperm cells in the mother/father started to form into eggs.

Sadly, breathing acts of kindness and thoughtful stewardship of the natural world doesn't have what it takes to get on mainstream media. Viva Mexico!

@The Shitstorm Starter we are talking about the butterflies flying part

[@chilib4325]

The Shitstorm Starter it’s definitely KZbin. The music video for a song I like has several “crowded” scenes. The dancers are edited to look like there are dozens of duplicates. Those parts look really pixelated and shoddy, whereas other scenes look perfectly fine despite heavy editing effects. In general, the camera from the drone is fine. It’s just scenes where all the butterflies are _moving_ that see a drop in quality. The music video I was talking about is _IDOL_ by bts. Check it if you don’t believe me.

Back in the 1970's, while attending UT/Austin, my boyfriend and I were canoeing on one of the rivers in central Texas when we came across thousands upon thousands of butterflies nesting in the trees along their southern migration route. It was an ethereal experience, magical in every way. To witness such a natural phenomenon, was simply out of this world. I shall never forget the awe we experienced. Such a natural wonder. Our mother earth and her living things are indeed exquisite.

So beautiful there have never been words made to describe it.

Butterflies are special, I raised 205 monarchs this year. 🦋

Plant milkweed for caterpillars of the monarch butterfly .

[@HVYMETL]

YES! I've planted it in my yard.

[@sennstrato7281]

@@HVYMETL On my KZbin channel I have videos of monarchs that I raise from eggs and caterpillars. And here's a metal song that I just recorded last night. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfPgoB9qtCYj8U

[@elithegreat6463]

Every time I see a Monarch, in my yard I say it’s probably one of our loved ones we lost visiting, or one of our lost Pets. Cause frankly, they can do what they want, and if they want to visit as a Monarch Butterfly, they can. ❤️👍😇

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

Stunning❤☺❤ Thank you so much.

[@bentcn8511]

We must plant flowers and milkweed.

[@gergc4871]

The milkweed I planted last Summer is growing like...a weed. I hope to see monarchs around it this fall.
