As they migrate(迁移),butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with,and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction.This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances.Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.
Fascinating as their skills of flight are,migrating behavior has been difficult to study in. insects because many long distant trips happen thousands thousands of feet above ground. Only recently i have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.
To their surpri se,though,the insects weren’t passive travelers on the winds.In autumn,for example,most light winds blew from the east,but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wIntenng homes.
Even in the spring,when most winds flowed northward,the insects didn’t always go with the flow.If breezes weren’t blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go,the insects changed their body positions to compensate.Many migrating birds do the same thing.
The study also found,butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along.By adding flight speeds to wind speeds,the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour.The findings may have real-world applications.
With climate warming,migrating insects are growing in number.Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops.

Michelle Obama has just started a campaign
against childhood obesity(肥胖)with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat.Clearly,childhood obesity must be solved and urgently.But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?
Studies show山at the more children diet,the more likely they are to become obese asad ults.Research also shows that gifts are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes toeating habits and body image.
This was the case for Carly,40,who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight.“My mother was on a diet the whole time 1 was growing up,”she says.“And she putme on my first diet when 1 was 10.I lost puppy fat,gained her approval and never ate normally again, America’s First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to.convey.But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha?Could they develop eating disorders because of it?
“It’s wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters’eating disorders,”says Susan Ringwood,chief executive of the eating disorders charity,Beat.“There is a genetic(基因的)component to eating disorders."However,“We do know that parents have a very strong influ。ence over a child’s eating.It's important to realize that you are your daughter’s role model.Girls idolize the ir mothers.”says Ringwood.
“Nofoodshould ever be‘good'or‘bad’,”Ringwood says.Instead,“You have to make it clear that food is a sociable,healthy and fun part of life,not something to be feared.”
“Talk to her about body image,”Ringwood says.“Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman.Show her that anorexic(厌食的)fashion models are not sexy,but i11.The pressure on girls today is immense,”she says.“But don’t forget that you are the authoritative voice,too.”
