Marie O’Shaughnessy writes: I did always want to know where butterflies go when it clouds over, so finally I found a male Sara Orangetip hanging in an oak tree on Mount Douglas yesterday Sunday. April 21.  Only one male flying fleetingly around. The underside of a butterfly truly does help in camouflage . Just learning all these fascinating things about nature.  Can’t wait for the dragonflies to emerge and return later this month.
