Passage for Questions 1-2:
The monarch butterfly's annual migration is one of nature's most remarkable phenomena. Each fall, millions of monarchs travel up to 3,000 miles from Canada and the United States to central Mexico.

Scientists are still studying how these insects navigate such vast distances without ever having made the journey before.
