Dear All:<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Yes, I watched the program a second time. This time my non-biologist wife (she's a registered nurse) watched as well and she was impressed and delighted. It really is a magnificent documentary (it's always a privilege to hear Lincoln Brower) but I have two questions for general discussion, </div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>1) How is it possible to show footage of caterpillars and egg-laying adult monarchs without using the word, milkweed, even once?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div><div>2) If monarchs don't reproduce on the trip south why do we in New York and Missouri find caterpillars on milkweeds in late September - October? Asclepias tuberosa is now a common garden plant in Missouri. My neighbors always crow in delight when they find caterpillars on it in the autumn.</div>

the sky as NOVA charts one of nature's most remarkable phenomena: the epic
migration of monarch butterflies across North America. NOVA's filmmakers
followed monarchs on the wing throughout their extraordinary odyssey. To capture
a butterfly's point of view, camera operators used a helicopter, ultralight, and
hot-air balloon for aerial views along the butterflies' transcontinental
route.<br><br>"The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies" director Nick de
Pencier describes his attempts to fly like a butterfly and other adventures
making the film. Find that and more on the program's companion
