• Resumen

  • The article focuses on a 10-year study which found that more than 3.3 trillion insects migrate high above southern Great Britain from 2000-2009 especially in spring and fall. Topics covered include the net movement of bugs by tons of biomass that travel overhead at heights greater than about 500 feet, the overall direction of insect flight, and the active choices that the insects make about when and how to use the winds to migrate.
