Taiwan Puts Butterflies In The Fast Lane
Pointing out stories you might have missed. Authorities in Taiwan are to close one lane of a major highway to protect more than a million butterflies, which cross the road on their seasonal migration. The purple milkweed butterfly, which winters in the south of the island, negotiates 600 metres of motorway to reach its breeding ground in the north.
Many of the 11,500 butterflies that attempt the journey each hour do not reach safety, experts say. Protective nets and ultra-violet lights will also be used to aid the insects. Taiwanese officials conceded that the decision to close one lane of the road would cause some traffic congestion, but said it was a price worth paying.
