Fascinated

I was absolutely fascinated in my Animal Behaviour class this afternoon - our professor talked about his research on the migration of monarch butterflies. These butterflies start their annual trip in Mexico and this first generation make their way up to Texas to lay their eggs and then die; the eggs hatch and this second generation continues the migratory pattern north and the same cycle repeats - until the fourth or fifth generation which is born way up north in Ontario. In some incredible way, this single generation completes the migratory cycle in September/October as they head all the way back south to Mexico to overwinter for about seven months, and then trekking up to Texas to lay their eggs. Isn't that insane? In all the intricate details of the monarch's migratory pattern, this being only one species of the hundreds and thousands of species that inhabit our planet, I couldn't help but think of God and His creativity, His detail, and His care for all His creation
