These things are everywhere! I counted 12 on my short bike-ride home from the University today. (And interestingly, the sightings increased as I neared my Phillips house.)
I have lived at my house for 4 years now, and have consistently planted certain flowers with the hope of attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. (Butterfly weed, red Gladiolus, Columbine, etc.) Apart from one hummingbird (or hummingbird moth, it was hard to tell) and a handful of butterflies here and there, I've seen nothing until these past few days, when we have become inundated. Is it the weather? The season? Does anybody know?? Not complaining at all, but really curious, Connie Nompelis Ventura Village P.S. Have we concluded that they're Painted Ladies? I don't know my butterflies too well, but the descriptions so far proffered here are identical to what I'm seeing. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
