People are immigrants but insects are too, and the incredible annual journey of Monarch butterflies seems insignificant compared to the amazing migration of these little insects!

Every year, millions of dragonflies fly thousands of miles across the ocean from India to Africa. It’s the longest migration of any insect. Monarchs fly about half this distance.

Since they’re so small, and not as colorful as butterflies, we hardly noticed this incredible migration, but the people in the Maldives Islands do, because that’s where they land. Since the Maldives may soon be underwater, this may also be the end of these courageous insects.

In BBC News, Matt Walker Biologist Charles Anderson as saying, “It may seem remarkable that such a massive migration has gone unnoticed until now. But this just illustrates how little we still know about the natural world.”
