   Thanks to Sussex (England) butterfly enthusiast David Harris for pointing out to me a posting on the Sussex butterfly website  www.sussex-butterflies.org.uk\/sightings\/<\/a>   for October 6, which gives the following link:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-us-canada-41528521<\/a><\/p>\n

This describes a massive migrating swarm, detected by radar, of Painted Lady butterflies in Colorado.  We should keep a lookout here to see if any of them reach us.<\/p>\n
