Nate, hwn pake in okinawa now back in Hawaii, has been rescuing caterpillars from bulbul birds that were eating them off of his crown flower plant. His efforts have produced choke monarch butterflies which he's been releasing!!! Isn't that just soooo neat!! The photo below is from Nate's blog.
There is a grove of eculpytus trees in Pacific Grove (Monterey area on the coast) where the Monarch butterflies come every year in October/November. There will be tons of them hanging from the trees. You don't really know they are there until they move. They are so beautiful! You'll see them around town too. These monarchs in your picture are awesome!
Wow Betty, I would just love to see the butterflies you mention. The place sounds beautiful! The photo in my post was taken by Nate. Thanks to your comment, I added a statement to hopefully clarify this. Tanks, eh!

I hear there is a place in South America where you can see them all on one tree too, saw it on tv, it was amazing!
Kat, I think I read about that place in the National Geographic magazine.
