Kenya has recently witnessed the incredible sight of the migratory African White Caper butterflies. This natural phenomenon has not only sparked our curiosity but also raised important questions about its implications and benefits.
Butterflies are an important part of any ecosystem. These delicate creatures facilitate the reproduction of flowering plants, ensuring the continuation of ecosystems and providing essential services to humans. Pollinators visit flowers in search of food, nectar, and pollen. During these visits, a pollinator may accidentally brush against the flower’s reproductive parts, unknowingly depositing pollen from flower to flower.
