Beautiful little things...These remind me of the years I lived in the high desert & the Monarch migration that came through town. Awesome...So many butterflies everywhere...They were so thick & made visibility so difficult over the I15 one year, I saw people needing to use their windshield wipers.

Wow Jillie - I would love to see that sometime!

We had live monarch butterflies in the floral centerpieces at our daughters bat mitzvah last June - it was wonderful, especially when we released them!

Nice to see these pictures, Bill, on this VERY COLD winter day! Thanks!

You're so funny, Jillie! [Big Grin] Thanks for the holiday wish. [grin] We won't be having latkes until Sunday at a family gathering, but I'll be sure to think of you then! [thumb]

I like the one with green wings! Great pics as usual Bill!

I have a butterfly question.

I have seen butterfly houses, like birdhouses, at nursery spots on the web. What exactly do they do? Do the butterflys really live in them? Someone please explain to me. [wayey]

Hollywood....

Butterflies will live in these houses you've seen as long as they are place in a sheltered spot, and is around flowers and a source of water. Just remember not to use any pressure treated lumber. You can paint it....on the outside with bright colors and flower designs...they really go for that.
