Sorry to be ignorant, but I was always curious why do so many species of various classes of animals migrate migrate north in the summer, when they'll have to escape winter a few months later?

Evolutionary biologists are beginning to work out the mystery of how a complex life cycle like caterpillar- chrysalis - butterfly evolved. If you want to read the details try Richard Dawkins excellent books like " The ancestors tale " or Talkdesign org or Evolutionfairytale website, Also try PZ Meyers website Pharyngula or Potholer54 channel on youtube for more excellent videos

@Energonorama i suppose its the same reason why an ant knows it has to work in armies, so the colony can benefit.

I don't get how a butterfly that has just been born knows how to fly 3000 miles and lay an egg?? "Imprinted behaviour" doesn't explain it for me because it skips a generation.
Meh... im going to look into Cicada beetles more.

Well, the research to try to understand how they do it is still going on. Nobody knows yet how they find their way and how they are drawn to migrate in the fall. We just know they do it. There are many papers on this subject in scientific journals.
