Researchers from the United Kingdom have used small radars to follow the movements of butterflies.

As they have explained, to stick the useful on the back of the butterfly, first they had to remove the hairs and then use the adhesive.

The aim of the research has been to follow the butterflies, since the devastations that appear to be drifting are due to the search for food or shelter, while on other occasions they are on a more direct road near the ground to escape a predator or to change surroundings.
