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.

What do they taste like? Like chicken? 
As StuckSuck says, there were gazillions of them around LAX last week.
What a migration! Mother nature at her finest!

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

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.
