Started showing up around 3 pm as a small storm was blowing in. Stayed for the night (10/9). Have had small bunches pass thru all week, but this is the largest by far and they stayed for the night

The overnight temps were in the mid 50s. The storm blew in from the northeast. The butterflies roosted on the west side of the trees away from the wind & light sprinkles. There was quite a few that came thru town about noon yesterday (10/9) also. This morning (10/10) is clear & as of now they aren't moving yet but the sun is just getting to them. No wind so far. There is probably a few hundred more than I reported. This yard is about an acre with lots a trees. As the sun is coming up, I'm noticing more than yesterday (10/9). Glad I finally had a large enough amount to report.
