They must be staying south because they have not made it to the northern part of the state yet Eggz. There are many complimenting colors in this post. Great work.
I just found out about a butterfly place not all that far from here. They are in a controlled area. I will have to check it out. This is gorgeous, Gregg. Super quality.
