Tiny Rare Butterflies- it is good to know they are around.

Hundreds of these little fellows, they are only one and a half inches big, flew over our part of San Diego today.  I got some terrible pictures, two of which are here:

Flutterby and it was really hauling buns

Three, marked with an arrow tip, near the end of the mass.

From visuals and the fact of where they were headed to, something that I won't share here, they have a home they have found with plenty of eats.  I wish them God Speed and Blessings, because they are extremely rare butterflies.   I had seen a single one in the garden a couple of days ago, and it was really moving through at a fast pace - alighting nowhere.  If I hadn't seen that one butterfly, I would have thought them to be Skippers.  No skipper flies this high or en mass like these were doing.

This is what they eat, Spiny Redberry.
