Insect Swarm or Bird Migration | Grand Rapids News

Michigan weather watchers were baffled Thursday evening as radar showed a giant blob hovering over Grand Rapids—no rain, no birds, just mystery. Meteorologist Bob Dukesherer nailed it: it was likely a massive insect swarm, probably Monarch butterflies or dragonflies, descending as temperatures cooled. These Monarchs? A special “super generation” bred for endurance, on their epic southbound journey through the Great Lakes flyway right now. Birds could’ve been involved too, but the radar fit points to bugs. Nature’s migration spectacle is unfolding in real time—don’t miss it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
