There are hundreds of little monarch butterflies outside. I have never seen this before. I just moved to Austin 4 months ago.

Editor's Note: As reported by the Statesman.com website, "About every decade or so there’s an outbreak of snouts in Central Texas, according to Mike Quinn, president of the Austin Butterfly Forum. 'The weather pattern triggers these outbreaks — the drought followed by heavy rains,' said Quinn, who has compiled a site dedicated to the butterfly."
