That’s pretty much the opposite of memory, as the behavior is completely innate.

- samstave 3y agoThere are so many interesting stories on them, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=npr+talk+monarch+butterflies&atb=v381-1&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=npr+talk+monarch+butterflies&atb=v... But one thing thats reall interesting is that we have been decimating their only foodsource and breeding grounds ; milkweed. We treat milkweed, as a weed and its decimated by RoundUp (monsatan) https://www.nwf.org/Garden-For-Wildlife/About/Native-Plants/Milkweed.aspx https://www.nwf.org/Garden-For-Wildlife/About/Native-Plants/... but its really interesting that there is a really large hippocampus in birds, and some insects - which allows for them to have a really spacial/geographic memory - they recall where they find food. But the interesting thing about monarchs is that this information has some ability to encode over skipped generations... But because we monsatan the "weeds" we are FN the monarchs up. When I wasa child, in Lake Tahoe Monarchs were on the migration path and we would have entire pine trees covered in them https://imgur.com/gallery/acxne3V https://imgur.com/gallery/acxne3V This was a regular for me in elemetary school...
