Tangent: monarch butterflies routinely fly across the Atlantic Ocean, which (given their relatively tiny size and fragility) strikes me as an equivalent feat.

- bedobi 5y agowtf I know this isn't an insightful comment, but wtf
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoI wonder if their size is not an advantage: if they start high enough they can basically be pushed by the winds with a very limited effort. Nothing scientific here, just a casual comment.
- q1w2 5y agoThey have a different extreme low-density advantage that they only need to stay up, and the wind blows them over.
