Did you know the woman who helped discover the migratory home of the Monarch butterflies in 1975 lives in Austin? This morning’s paper has an article about her and her late husband tracking the butterflies in Mexico. There’s a photo of her posing in front of a poster of her covered in butterflies that was the cover of a National Geographic magazine.

The Bullock Texas State History Museum IMAX theater is currently showing “Flight of the Butterflies” about the discovery.
