Painted Ladies are everywhere here!

I don't mean the over-priced over-valued Newport Beach kind.
I talking butterfly action.
How is the butterfly season going in Baja?

Saw a few in La Paz last week, but swarms in Borrego with all the wildflowers a couple of weeks ago.

For the past week there have been a gazillion Painted Ladies flying north near LAX.

Mass Migration of Painted Lady Butterflies Entrances Californians

What do they taste like? Like chicken? :biggrin:

As StuckSuck says, there were gazillions of them around LAX last week.

What a migration! Mother nature at her finest!

Anybody got any Baja butterfly photos?

They splat yellow on the windshield.

I also heard they are a Delicious condiment on a Taco...

Thanks. Lots of nice pictures in there.

We do not have any butterflies flying around here in La Bocana. I think they will be here soon because the birds are having a feast in the bushes....we think they are after caterpillars but I haven't seen them myself.

There are, however, lots of bees. Les had a meeting with some of them recently.

Bees are very good! Sorry for Les's meeting unless ofcourse it was about honey:D

Dead Painted Ladies

Traveling between home and Banning a half-dozen times in the last week, my windshield has terminated scores of them. I wish they'd be more careful. Their residue is a pain to remove.

Saw thousands flying through this part of the Palm Springs area.

They were heavy for two days, early last week, here in San Diego County.

Today on their Way Elsewhere

MrBillM - 3-19-2019 at 08:17 PM

Driving down Hwy 62 to I-10 this a.m. killed 3-4.

None this afternoon.
