Discovery
The flying snark was first discovered by explorer Matthew LaMore of Grand Rapids, MI. LaMore was on his journey to the northern part of his homestate to return to his living quarters when a flying snark flew into his windshield. LaMore, fascinated by the creature, made sure to quickly inform local authorities of his discovery. Although an avid birdwatcher, LaMore finds all aspects of nature interesting and was therefore intrigued at the initial sighting.

Anatomy
The flying snark could quickly be confused as a monarch butterfly at first sight, but more extensive examination reveals the insect actually has four wings that beat faster than the human eye can decipher. The flying snark is known to have a 4 inch body, with 9 legs stemming out (four on each side, with a front leg slightly below the insect's mouth; this leg helps propel the insect into the air). The flying snark's wing design is the same of a monarch butterfly's, but the colors consist of malachite, gamboge, and razzmatazz. The flying snark also has 3 antennas protruding from it's head, slightly above the eyes. It is not known how the snark reproduces or if there are flying snarks with other color patterns.

Habitat
The snark reportedly resides in the forests between Grand Rapids and Pentwater, MI. The snark feeds on green plants, mainly grass that has not been fertilized as studies have shown that the snark is able to tell the difference between organic grass and pesticide-infected grass. The snark has a difficult time surviving in heat above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, thus it resides in Michigan in the winter time.
