user: Problem: A cloud of shifting shape and speed that had many meteorologists baffled has turned out to be a swarm of butterflies migrating for the winter. Weather workers in St. Louis, Missouri were vexed last week when they noticed a cloud on their radar that was heading south and kept forming into a variety of odd shapes. One of those odd shapes, oddly enough, was the shape of a giant butterfly. Scroll down for videos. What are the odds: The cloud, which kept changing size and speed and baffled most meteorologists, was even shaped like a butterfly on the radar (above) Winter break: What appeared to be a large cloud over St. Louis, Missouri was actually a swarm of Monarch butterflies (above) heading South for the winter. The National Weather Service was eventually able to conclude that this was an immense swarm of Monarch butterflies making their annual trip down to the mountains of Mexico for the winter months. They shared this news, and how it is these delicate winged creatures were detected as a cloud, on their Facebook page last week. The sheer size of this swarm is also good news as America's Monarch population has been in decline over the past few years due to habitat loss and extreme weather. Bigger and better: The size of the swarm of butterflies is good news for the species, whose numbers had begun to drop recently in America due to habitat loss and extreme weather. The orange and black beauties will now fly thousands of miles south and, hopefully, make the trip back north come Spring. As for the western United Sates population of Monarchs, they never actually leave the country, heading from the Rocky Mountains to sunny California come winter.

Problem: A four-year-old cancer survivor's dream Make-A-Wish Foundation trip to Disney World has been cancelled by her own father - because he thinks only dying children deserve the charity's money. McKenna May, from Haskins, Ohio, was granted $3,500 (£2,235) to fund a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to the Florida theme park, after spending half her short life undergoing agonising treatment for leukemia. But the brave little girl has been left devastated after her father William May refused to sign a consent form allowing her to go,. McKenna May, here with her mother Whitney, spent two years of her short life fighting leukemia and she's now finally free and clear. Dream trip denied: May's father banned her from accepting a free trip to Disney World, because she's not dying of cancer. Since she was diagnosed with cancer in April 2010, McKenna has undergone 15 spinal taps, multiple chemotherapy treatments, and a series of steroid injects. She has been hospitalised numerous times. She underwent her final treatment last month after showing signs of beating the disease, but won't won't be officially cancer-free for another five years,. To cheer her up during the painful treatments, McKenna's mother Whitney Hughes and grandmother Lori Helppie applied to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Moved by her plight, the charity granted McKenna her wish and agreed to pay for the family to travel to Disney World in Florida. Fund-raising: McKenna's mother and grandmother are now trying to raise the money so she can meet her hero, Mickey Mouse. But before the trip could be booked, both parents had to sign a consent form. And William May refused. Speaking to the Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune. newspaper, he argued the gift was an improper use of donations, and. that handouts should be reserved for 'kids who only have six months to. live'. Mrs Hughes is convinced her. ex-husband is trying to punish her after he was granted just visitation. rights to his daughter earlier this year. And. Mr May admitted he is angry with his ex-wife and her mother, who he. claims are preventing him from seeing his daughter. He told the. Sentinel-Tribune: 'I wasn't allowed to be involved. It ticked me off.' Ms. Hughes and Ms Hellpie have refused to give up hope they can still take. McKenna to Disney World and are attempting the raise the money. themselves, passing around collection jars in their local community. Ms Helppie said: 'The important thing is to get her there.She loves Mickey Mouse. She loves Cinderella.' Ms Hughes added: 'She's really excited. It's all she's talked about for the last three months.' Charity chiefs are, meanwhile, bewildered by the row - having ruled McKenna was clearly deserving of the trip. Susan McConnell, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish for Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, told the Sentinel-Tribune: 'The doctors are the ones who determine if she is qualified. She's been through a lot. What I really feel bad about is she is stuck in the middle.'
