Title:
White butterflies descending on Joburg have residents agog

Published:
News24, 30 January 2020

From the description of the video:
"Every year, swarms of white butterflies descended on Johannesburg during their annual migration from South Africa's west coast to Madagascar, lepidopterist Earle Whiteley told News24 earlier.

Whiteley, a Conservation of Butterflies in SA director, said the spectacle was an annual event, but the clouds of Belenois aurota, commonly known as brown-veined white butterflies, did not always follow the same route."
