[ICYMI] EXPLAINER: What's with the white butterflies flying across SA?

JOHANNESBURG - Over the past few weeks, South Africans have been treated to the wonderful sight of white butterflies flying across the sky.

— Wendel Bloem January 28, 2020 Watching hundred and thousands of little white butterflies fly through the neighbourhood. It’s beautiful. pic.twitter.com/0yUq0OhyhuEyewitness News spoke to Dr Vaughn Swart from the Zoology and Entomology department under the University of the Free State's faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences to understand more about these butterflies.

"The butterflies originate from arid places in the country such as the Karoo and head in a north-easterly direction towards Mozambique and northern KwaZulu-Natal." The number of butterflies migrating every year depends on the food available to them from the areas they originate, which in term affects how they pupate and lay eggs. Numbers differ from year to year.
