There is also a lot to be learned about butterflies, so I am finding out. A local, Colin Ogle, let us know of a flock, or flutter of Monarch Butterflies resting in a tree at a local park. Apparently they gather at certain places each winter throughout NZ, as far south as Timaru, They huddle together to keep warm, there can be 1000s of them. In North America their migration south is one of the wonders of the natural world.
