Yeah.. ok.. couple of flaws there.. firstly power to weight ratio and lift capability of your average butterfly against a minimum GPS payload of over 100 grams AND ... GPS satellites only orbit a few hundred miles up and if heaven was lower than that we would have spotted it by now.. GPS wouldn't work outside the orbit of the satellites because the navigation signals are transmitted from down facing (obviously) facing antennas.
You simply have not thought this through!!!

Or not....

That's much nicer than the 'they lie in bushes/dirt/long grass etc...all sad and lonely til they rot away or get eaten by butterfly eating creepy crawlies'....that I was going to say Like I said...the hormones today...pffft.
No I live in the country and never see any bodies....

We'll just get the Japanese to design something incredibly small. They're good at designing very small stuff I hear.

I do believe Sir, that it is you who has not thought this through.
You make an ickle diddy one don't ya?
Plus butterflies don't go to heaven, they go to HELL!!! And every good scientist knows hell is below the satellites.
There is only one sure fire way of stopping a butterfly going to heaven.. it involves a sharpened steal spike through the thorax.. 
.. that's why you see butterfly collections held in place with pins... take the pins out and ..pooof.. the butterfly will fade into nothingness before your eyes.. tis true

Have you no understanding of the attenuation characteristics of sold rock when it comes to GPS signals?. Even the most sensitive GPS receiver can lose the signal under a wet tree in full leaf... a metre or less of rock and wooosh no signal.. see... once again no concept of radio wave propagation

Yeah.. but fairy dust is a myth.. and anyway just because it might work on fairies that doesn't guarantee that all wing based insect creatures such as butterflies and moths have the necessary characteristics to absorb and react to fairy dust in a positive way.. it might just give them, in the case of moths, the terrible munchies!!

Powered by Fairydust..

You'll never know Sydlers. Perhaps it's up to peeps to disprove the theory
Lot of confused faces at the Petrol Station then...
I have seen those stickers.. gawd... WHY?
