Monarch butterfly

The monarch butterfly or simply monarch (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae) in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 8.9–10.2 cm (3½–4 in) The viceroy butterfly is similar in color and pattern, but is markedly smaller and has an extra black stripe across each hind wing.

The eastern North American monarch population is notable for its annual southward late-summer/autumn migration from the United States and southern Canada to Mexico. During the fall migration, monarchs cover thousands of miles, with a corresponding multi-generational return north. The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains often migrates to sites in California but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well. Monarchs were transported to the International Space Station and were bred there.

The Wanderer (U2 song)

"The Wanderer" is the tenth and final track from U2's 1993 album, Zooropa. It is one of the few U2 songs without Bono on lead vocals, instead featuring country singer Johnny Cash. The Edge provides harmonising backing-vocals throughout the song, but the country style howl at the end is by Bono.

Cash recorded the vocals for the song in Dublin in February 1993 during the Zooropa sessions. The song underwent several provisional titles, including "The Preacher" and "Wandering". Producer Brian Eno tried to get Bono to sing the song, but Bono maintained it was Cash's voice he imagined singing the song. Bono and Cash had previously worked on a song called "Ellis Island".

The lyrics describe a man searching for God in a post-Apocalyptic world. There is little guitar and Adam Clayton's synthesised bassline is the prominent musical sound throughout the song, although Larry Mullen's drumbeats can be heard.

Johnny Cash performed it on at least one occasion at the Nevada County fairgrounds in Grass Valley, California, in August 1993. U2 played it in a television special entitled I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash, following Cash's death in 2003, with The Edge adding dramatic falsetto background vocals. On 2 July 2011, U2 performed a lengthy snippet of the song, running for two verses, in Nashville, Tennessee as a part of the U2 360° Tour. Bono performed it with a deep, growling baritone voice as a tribute to Cash.
