We experienced the same thing on Sunday while driving south from Toledo to Columbus. At first , I didn't realize what was flying in front of the car. It reminded me of a scene from "The Birds". Needless to say, they made quite a mess on the windshield, grill of the car, and the backs of the mirrors. I can't imagine how many had a collision with my car!!

what a pretty butterfly, but not here in CO yet ..nature's creatures are sometimes the most beautiful or ugly ..

I live along the WI/IL border (WI side) and spotted a few of these at a dear friend's house. Her hubby told us that the whole back of his garage were covered with them - beautiful creatures aren't they?

Had some on my rose bush under the sewing room window. There were just 2 or three. Thought they were so pretty, but didn't know what kind they were. Thank's again, Quilting Board, for coming up with an answer to a question. LOL

Flowering bushes in my backyard have been full of these butterflies the past few days. Have seen only one this morning. NW Ind.

We have had them here in Northfield, MN. My brother mentioned seeing hundreds of them a week or so ago when he was driving up from Rochester, MN. I know we have had them here.

goodness gracious, that moth is huge and beautiful!!!

My friend and I were commenting on the number of butterflies around lately. I just heard on the news this afternoon and there was an article in the newspaper about them. Seems like the warm weather and early spring brought them out. I must have had 20 around my deck one afternoon. Really something to see.

I had at least a dozen on my vibernum (don't think I spelled that right) bush this afternoon!

Yes I have
 

I have had some red admiral butterflies in my yard recently. So beautiful.
