The Clock Inside the Antenna
The Secret Navigation, Survival, and Inheritance of a Migrating ButterflyBy Rowan Cassidy
Length48m
About this audiobook
A monarch butterfly weighs less than a raindrop, yet it crosses a continent to reach a forest it has never seen. How? In eight vivid, audio-crafted journeys, Monarch uncovers the hidden machinery behind one of nature's greatest migrations — the clock ticking inside two slender antennae, the magnetic compass written across a butterfly's vision, the poison it steals from milkweed, and the inherited route no single insect lives long enough to remember. From an Ontario meadow to the fir forests of Michoacán, these are stories of navigation, survival, and an instruction older than every creature now alive. Listen closely. The most ordinary wings carry the most extraordinary secrets.
