Default Have you seen the red admiral butterfly migration?

I thought I was losing my mind... driving north into Buffalo today, and there were all these butterflies crossing the highway, and all but one were moving west to east! It's kinda hard to ID a butterfly (or moth) at 65 mph...

But later my mother mentioned that she'd heard something on the radio about red butterflies... and I searched for news reports on "red butterflies" and found a number of articles talking about the "red admiral butterfly" migration being earlier and larger than usual, due to our warmer spring.

So I was *not* imagining things!

Sad to say, I killed three of them. Can't brake for butterflies on the interstate.

Have you seen the butterfly migration in your area? If so, tell us where!
