What a weekend! Lovely weather - absolutely perfect.
It was a weekend of butterflies madly skipping NW-ward. Thousands of them. I have no idea what the butterflies are - they were here and gone before one could do anything apart from appreciate the speed with which they moved. These butterflies were on A Mission. We think they were Painted Lady type butterflies but who knows? they certainly were not fluttering by in the usual butterfly manner - no barely able to fly for these chaps! These were the ferraris of the flutterby world. Hwnce no photos.
Also we've been seeing heaps of fuzzy black caterpillars on one bit of sidewalk on the way to downtown Campbell. They look totally black and are right by a "wild" patch by the freeway. There's oxalis pes-caprae, redwoods, ashes, thistles, and wild oats and other grasses in the area. We have not seen them feeding on anything there. We would love to know what they are. I might be able to get a pic of one before it is squashed.
