Mexican butterflies threatened.....

Fabled monarch butterflies are facing a new threat from severe storms that have devastated some sanctuary forests in Mexico.The Nature Conservancy group said in a news conference that storm damage in Mexico's 13,000-hectare monarch reserve is yet another blow to the fragile butterflies, which arrived in Mexico in record low numbers last season after a 2,000-mile journey from spots as far north as Canada.
