The migration of monarch butterflies has just added a tool worthy of a small connected gadget. In Mexico, ultralight solar sensors allow to track their displacements more accurately. The technology seeks to reveal how they use their shelters and what happens when they start their spring trip. The Mexican project installed 175 sensors in copies of communities of the State of Mexico and Michoacán during 2026. Each device weighs just 0.06 grams and…
