Millions of painted lady butterflies that fluttered
into California's Central Valley in late March
could be just the advance guard of one of the largest
migrations of the species on record, according to Prof.
Arthur Shapiro, a butterfly expert at the University of
California at Davis. Shapiro said he is getting reports
of "billions" of other butterflies in Southern California
which appear to be heading north. Heavy winter rain-fall
appears to be responsible for the winged population boom.
mainly due to natural phenomena like sunlight and rain,
the survey reported.

I heard about that back in March from one of the California subscribers.
Holy cow...Billions of them. Kind of hard to believe. I wonder if they get them on their windshields like we get lovebugs.

Thats what they tell me! They came through the deserts first. They talked about it on the photo forum during the wildflower bloom.
