We went to see the butterflies in Pacific Grove. They travel about 1200 miles to get to the mild California climate. There is a Butterfly Sanctuary and butterflies everywhere! They stay here from October until February & are amazing! They know the correct temperature they need and adjust themselves in the trees to stay within the correct temperature. Amazes me that they know just where to go... any closer to the water & they'd be too cold. Amazes me too that they cluster together so nicely and hide themselves on the branches - when their wings are folded they look brownish, like a leaf! God knows how to design some amazing creatures!
Clustered along the end of the branch...
Zoomed in to see each little triangle is a butterfly!
So many butterflies! Each female can lay about 400 eggs each time - lots & lots of butterflies!
