I could make it up to you and take you sometime
There is a butter fly haven in South Florida too.
Butter Fly World
Once while backpacking in the Pork Pine mountains on the UP of Michigan about three days in we awoke one morning to find out entire camp covered with butter flies. They were every where in the morning sun. So beautiful.
Joanne...thanks for adding the link, great to see so many butterfly places about and sharing them with everyone. Yours looks very warm.
What a nice surprise to wake to...must have been stunning!
I went to the Bronx Zoo site, but they don't have anything spectacular there regarding their butterfly habitat, which is seasonal in nature. Speaking of seasonal and habitats, wouldn't it be stupendous to go to Belize, or Costa Rica, or somewhere that butterfly species abound? What an exhibit that would be!
The internet makes for a fabulous tool
Belize Butterfly Garden
Monteverde Costa Rica Butterfly Garden
I must say..they grow these things BIG in other parts o the world
Oh, wow let us go to Belize and Costa Rica to see butterflies after the New Year.
Hey JD, I love your new avatar!
Thank you it is a little less me but then the other one was to much some one else. And since my picture of Grand Junction, CO, disappears regularly I picked from the A2k avatar gallery. Seems to be more stable.
my new issue of Discover Mag says that 75% of the monarchs wintering in Mexico died last january. Also, they say that if logging continues at this rate in that area, there may be no more monarchs within 15 years.
Oh Sumac that is so terrible, I was just there
last year, and were it not for ill health, I intended
to go to the forest where each year the monarch
butterflies "hatch" or whatever they do. It is
said to be a beautiful site to see. I do hope the
damage is minimal.... I would like to get another
chance. I would go to Acapulco this time because
I would be closer to the butterfly watching area,
AND near an ocean. I felt sort of land locked
in the mountain town of San Miguel De Allende,
in Guanajuato - although I would highly
recommend it to anyone who wishes to see the
old and the new, and it is quite an artist colony.
I imagine that the 'recovery' period of this major setback will be well documented for the next several years as it was well publicized at the time that it happened, and people are likely to have pulled out their checkbooks. Not to be cynical, but it is the most well known site of this kind.
