Butterfly Flown 2,000 Miles on Southwest Airlines
In 2012, Southwest Airlines agreed to fly a single butterfly 2,000 miles after it overslept and missed its ride. The butterfly had been left behind in New York and needed to reach Texas to join its friends for the winter. The airline packed it carefully in a glassine envelope, Tupperware, and a padded bag, ensuring its safe transportation. While the butterfly's ultimate fate is unknown, its journey highlights the efforts made to assist the migration of monarch butterflies.
