    Beautiful capture. I was never sure what the proper name of the butterfly was. Thank you for telling us what it is.

    Antonette - I didn't know their name, either, until the local newspaper wrote about them yesterday. Yes, Stacey - the migration was magical. There were dozens fluttering around me while I stood under that tree last Friday.

    It does seem that way. I went for a walk with my daughter and granddaughter to see a neighborhood butterfly which astoundingly had literally hundreds of butterflies fluttering around bushes with purple flowers, Like aircraft more kept flying in, hovering and landing to sip nectar.
