I was shocked to see a butterfly above the cloud level

  Yes, and the bumblebee was up there pretty high too. You gotta wonder, what were they doing up there? Did they just get... lost? Just taking a nap in a thermal updraft?

    It probably got above the clouds just the same way as the mountain goat did: By living on a high mountain.

      I can't vouch for the quality of this site, but it says monarchs have been seen that high by aircraft. https://journeynorth.org/monarchs/resources/gallery/gallery-how-high-do-monarchs-fly https://journeynorth.org/monarchs/resources/gallery/gallery-...
