14. THE BUTTERFLY PEOPLE
A Canadian named Fred Urquhart loved monarch butterflies. But all the monarchs left when winter came. He
wondered where they went. In 1945, Fred married a woman named Norah. She loved butterflies too. “Where
do butterflies go in winter?” they asked. To find out, they made special stickers. They put the stickers on
many monarchs’ wings. Many people found the butterflies in the south. They mailed them back to Fred and
Norah. They also told Fred and Norah where they found the butterflies. In 1976, Fred and Norah found the
answer. They learned that monarchs fly over 4,000 kilometers south to Mexico in winter!
