Monarch butterflies in general are well known for making long migratory flights. This dance has been written to commemorate both Emma Trousdale and Carmen Davidson, both of whom find themselves, very much not by choice, needing to migrate to opposite ends of the planet. We wish them both well as they head to new adventures in the UK and New Zealand respectively, and we shall remember them when we see the African Monarch Butterflies, until they both return home.
Travel well, our African Monarch butterflies.
