Monarch Butterflies with more white spots on their wings are more successful at migrating from Canada to Mexico, according to a study by researchers at the University of Georgia. The white spots are believed to alter airflow patterns around the wings, aiding the butterflies' journey. The study also found that monarch butterflies that successfully completed their migration had wings with approximately 3% less black and 3% more white compared to others. The researchers believe this coloring pattern helps reduce exposure to the sun's radiation during the butterflies' long journey. The findings were published in the journal PLOS ONE.
