Index of Subjects The outbreak of Painted lady's is, of course, the direct consequence of the large number of migrants that arrived in May/June. These succesfully bred on everything from garden Mallow and Hollyhocks to burdocks, artemesia and thistle and now the "made in Canada" generation is emerging and starting to mass for their rather disorganized southward migration, which is why they are common in coastal areas. It has been many years since we have had this kind of influx of painted ladies. The first two years of the butterfly atlas project only turned up 10 records. It would be easy to duplicate that numbner in ten or fifteen minutes this year.

I thought my yard was full of butterflies but my sister and I just returned from Western Head and it is just alive with butterflies out by the lighthouse. Hundreds of Painted Ladies, a few American Painted Ladies mixed in, and monarchs. We figure not quite a hundred of them but well over 50 for sure. The place is just shimmering with them. Exciting. So where do they go?
