Do they know it's almost Christmas?

I thought butterflies hibernated or went to Mexico for the winter!

Well these butterflies didn't get the news.

Monday, I spotted a Monarch laying eggs on the Milkweed (at the church)
It stayed around a couple days.

The next day I saw a Painted Lady feeding on the Lantana flowers.
Also from my window at the office.

I was able to take some nice videos of the surprise butterflies.

Merry Christmas from me and the butterflies, in case I don't get around to blogging.
