Breathtaking Footage of Half a Billion Butterflies
Up to half a billion monarch butterflies lie sleeping having overwintered in Mexico. As winter ends and spring arrives, the sun warms their wings and the forest comes to life as a cascade of butterflies take flight! Robot Spy Hummingbird is right there in the heart of the spectacle.

We LOVE the Indian legend of the BUTTERFLY. Whisper your most needed Prayer to OUR LORD to hear when you see a Butterfly. He never makes a sound, he will fly away and deliver your prayer to OUR LORD.
All my girls and I wear a SILVER BUTTERFLY NECKLACE. Wheneverv we think of each other we touch the necklace and say a Prayer.

I just bought a hummingbird feeder yesterday so I was fascinated by the bird as well. How beautiful.

This video is one of the most beautiful messages I have ever received.

I didn’t know butterflies migrated.

I saw them in Mexico years ago, thrilled to find that the butterflies are still there.

Well done

Mesmerizing video. Both the butterflies and the hummingbird drone kept my attention. The video was well-shot and edited.
Thanks. Bob

I have seen something like this on Nature at KCTS. I am amazed at how close the photographers can get taking these. May the Robots are taking the pics???

Wow, such a beautiful and safe way to watch and experience those delicate creatures; would love to see more of your ‘spy’ videos of other animals –

Amazing my son was there when they arrived in Mexico, he thought they were paper flying around, someone told him they were butterflies, now he is there when they leave.

How wonderful/amazing and beautiful!!! I am a retired teacher and every year I would get a chrysalis in my classroom and watch this miracle of nature emerge and then we would release the Monarch to make its journey to Mexico! Thank you for this great footage…wish I had it 19 years ago!

How did they get the photo of the spy hummingbird itself? Human photographer on the ground? 2nd spy hummingbird?

Who is taking the pictures of the Hummingbird Spy? How?

You are the greatest forwarding such beauty. Love. Adriana

What a beautiful sight to see. We attract the Monarch Butterfly with cone flowers in the garden for them to feed. They need lots of stored up energy to make the flight to Mexico from Toronto.
Thanks for sharing. May a gentle breeze help them along the way.

Really something to see, I have been there then before, It seem unbelievable so many would come to one place, Thre are a few other places they also gather and I have seen at least 3 different locations where they gather it is a wonder to see.

Amazing shots, but they are clearly not made by the hummingbird camera, but through a conventional camera.
It is sad, they don’t mention that honestly.

I was thinking they must have two or three drone cameras. Still pretty to watch.
May 3, 2021 @ 12:53 am
Beautiful and amazing, I did not know the butterflies migrated. Most interesting. Would like to know more about the filming. It really was quite a video. Thank you so much for sharing this interesting video.

When was this video taken? The monarchs are almost zero in the recent California count this past winter.
May 4, 2021 @ 4:49 pm
Well….this was the most amazing sight to see!!!!
May 7, 2021 @ 11:27 am
Had to share it with my BFF. She adores butterflies.
Thank you so much ?

God’s creative beauty for us to enjoy
May 9, 2021 @ 12:11 am
That is an amazing sight. I knew it happened but seeing makes it really real.
May 12, 2021 @ 11:12 am
What a wonderful sight, and to think God made these creatures not only beautiful to look at, but by instinct smart enough to know where and when to fly south or north! I also wonder how the video was made, but that doesn’t detract from the wonder of it.

Living in College Station, Texas we are fortunate to enjoy the visits of both the Monarchs and the hummingbirds. It is popular for school children here to prepare for visits from both
