I don't often think of butterflies as traveling in herds but that is sometimes how it seems. The Satyrs in particular seem to arrive as a large group once the rabbit brush starts blooming. Like everything else this year, the bright yellow flowers are about a month earlier than normal but somehow the butterflies seem to know that. This group is also known as the "Browns" and is a very large family, all of whom have amazing "eyes" on their wings.
