Thank you for sharing this video! That is a long way to travel. I’d rather have all the bugs than no butterflies. I hope you’re having a relaxing evening after the bowling party. Take care!

I’ve been to the monarch migration place in CA (forget the location name) and it was amazing. What really stuck with me was the sound of all of those butterfly wings. It was loud!

It was probably this one in Santa Cruz, but there are others up and down the coast. Definitely a worthy bucket list item! https://www.californiabeaches.com/attraction/santa-cruz-monarch-butterfly-grove/

I’m still chuckling at the notion of a housefly sanctuary. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Enjoy the party.
