There appears to be a mass movement of this gorgeous migratory species through our area over the last few days. At the FWG today I saw at least 15, and there were probably more than that. They are being seen all over the city, floating down busy streets, in gardens and backyards, everywhere!

This butterfly was NOT taken at FWG, I'm sorry to say. None of the ones today would stay still. I took this one yesterday at the Burnt Lands near Almonte, but put it in to show you what to look for.
