A complete circuit of the Indian Ocean. This is a circuit of about 16,000 kilometers. 16,000 kilometers, four generations, mind you, for a two inch long insect. It's quite incredible. Those of you from North America will be familiar with the Monarch butterfly. Which, up until now has had the longest known insect migration. It's only half the length of this one. And this crossing here, of the ocean is the only truly regular transoceanic crossing of any insect. A quite incredible feat. And I only stumbled on this because I was living in MalÈ, in Maldives for long enough for it to percolate into my brain that something rather special was going on.
