Abstract
View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-0226.vid As seen in nature, some insects like the migratory Monarch butterflies utilize the temperature effects resulting from their wings’ color to increase their flight efficiency. In this paper, firstly, the flight route of the Monarch Butterflies from Saskatchewan, Canada, to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Preserve in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, are extracted. Considering this flight route's atmospheric characteristics, a thermal analysis is performed on the Monarch’s wing during their migration. Moreover, the effects that differences in surface temperatures of Monarchs’ wings are investigated theoretically and experimentally through thermal imaging. Experimentally, it is observed that the surface temperatures of black parts of the Monarch butterflies’ wings are higher than other colors under solar radiation. Applying the Blasius solution for heated boundary layers, it is shown that the dark color of these migratory butterflies results in a skin drag reduction alongside the environmental effects, such as higher ambient temperature and solar radiation. This drag reduction can be considered as one of the effective factors for the long endurance of these butterflies. This research can provide the evolutionary perspective behind the colorization of Monarch butterflies.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
