It's going on right now around (most of) us.

No, not caribou or terns or some African species or even geese.

Butterflies. Specifically, monarch butterflies.

They are the only butterflies that migrate anything close to the distances that they do, and when you think about the distances in relation to body size it's just mind-boggling. This is an animal that might be 2" long and 4" across the wings, that floats and flutters through the air - that will cover 2,000 to 3,000 miles down and across the U.S. and into Mexico. That's a distance more than 90 MILLION times it's body size. To put that in context, an animal the size of a caribou would have to cover over 100,000 miles.

If you haven't paid attention, do yourself a favor and do so.
