  1. 🦋 Monarchs are arriving along California’s coast — and gathering in clusters for the winter.

    Early counts show thousands of butterflies settling into trees at Natural Bridges, Lighthouse Field, Pacific Grove, Marin, and Pismo Beach.

    Monarchs are ectothermic — they rely on sunlight for warmth. Clustering doesn’t generate heat, but it protects them from rain and wind. Each butterfly that lands signals to others: this is a good tree.

    I’ll never forget the first time I looked up and realized the “leaves” I’d been staring at were butterflies. Once you see it, the trees come alive.

  7. Yesterday I went to Union Cemetery with my family in search of migrating Monarchs. I didn’t find the thousands I saw clustering on trees there last year (I am probably a week too late), but I found a handful, most on these gorgeous zinnias. Props to my husband @macmsp for capturing that first beautiful photo! #butterflies #monarchmigration #KansasCity #Bloomscrolling
