Hundreds of Monarchs were crossing the Interstate I-10 at Ozona, TX (Coordinates: 30.738603, -101.653931) on their way to their hibernating sites in Mexico. Sadly, lots of them were getting killed by the passing traffic (80 mph speed limit). This specimen was one of the many unfortunate bugs. Most Monarchs were intent in crossing the highway flying at low altitude. This was a little over 15 minutes and in this count I am including around 200 butterflies that were either dead or dying after getting struck by the traffic on I-10.
