    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.

      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.

      @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.

      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.

    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.

      @Kill All Reptiles No, my reaction would not be the same. Butterflies don't have any weapons to hurt me, but wasps certainly do. Of course the wasps would be acting defensively, just like the butterflys, but I don't wish them harm...I'd just move away from them. Believe it or not, I love ALL insects, wasps included. I carry them outside when I find them in my house, trying not to get stung! Diane

      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.,

    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. Just totally amazing.

    I have been to this forest on the Michoacan and Estado de Mexico border.
    I couldn't get too close because the butterflies are so fiercely protected.
    But I saw enough to be awe struck and humbled.
    That area can have freak harsh winters from time to time. The Mexican government generously hauled heaters to the monarch area and essentially heated the forest to insure that they wouldn't die in the many millions.
    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!

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.

Summer #2 I had 20 plants come up! I saw many Monarchs all summer. There were four cocoons attached to the decking rail next to the milkweed plants. And every year since we have added to the Monarch population in Summit County, Ohio! This year, that corner of my yard also included a robin’s nest that was home to THREE batches of baby robins! I LOVE my backyard sanctuary and hope to expand it next year. I’m researching how to better attract hummingbirds.
