the butterflies are flying by and they are small ones, traveling in groups of hundreds. The feeling is as if it were snowing butterflies...in scattered flurries. My observation time: I was watching for 24 hours.

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."
