You are right--when swarmed they do produce a stained-glass effect.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264435407129343604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-42248730398999638422008-08-14T01:39:00.000-04:002008-08-14T01:39:00.000-04:00This picture reminds me of your story about the bu...This picture reminds me of your story about the butterflies. Such a great story about how inexplicable are the passions of a species, butterfly or human. <BR/><BR/>I was in Sedona last weekend and went hiking in a beautiful red rock canyon along Oak Creek.

They made me think of your story.nancorbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969890183207049787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-51532753991944397922008-08-14T01:35:00.000-04:002008-08-14T01:35:00.000-04:00The picture of the moth reminds me of your story a...The picture of the moth reminds me of your story about the butterflies.

All along the trail were dozens of huge yellow butterflies. They look like stained glass windows, large, yellow, with black lines and a few dots of blue on the tail. Lovely.
