The “investigation of the behavior of migratory birds and carrier pigeons may someday lead to the understanding of some physical process which is not yet known,”\u00a0Einstein commented on the behavior of bees, not mentioning butterflies specifically.<\/p>\n
How beautiful is it to still have mystery in our natural world.<\/p>\n
Unlike birds we do not travel lightly.<\/p>\n
