In the last week I’ve noticed quite a few butterflies in my garden and around the neighborhood. Normally I don’t notice butterflies until at least May and certainly not in these numbers but there are so many that they’re even talking about it on the news!
All over Southern and Eastern Ontario butterflies like the Red Admiral and the Monarch are being seen in large numbers.
It’s thought that the warmer than normal temperatures in the Northern US combined with the high winds that we’ve experienced in the last week or so has contributed to the early mass migration.
As I said in my last post it was a warm winter and an early spring so there’s quite a bit of growth already, but I hope there’s enough food for the butterflies to eat considering they’re here so early.
Have you noticed butterflies in your area earlier than normal as well too? Isn’t it a little strange?
Having butterflies around your backyard signifies that your garden is bountiful with your healthy and eco-friendly garden. I have my own mini-garden. I thought setting up a garden in a condominium is impossible. However, I can see some butterflies roaming around my garden. It is somehow a fulfilling moment for me.
That is strange but we are experiencing changes in the climate and all this global warming so maybe thats why they migrated early than usual, its great though to see butterflies. I love them!
There are lots of butterflies around my backyard every morning. My garden is in full bloom during the first few days of Spring, and our place can be an ideal one for those homeowners who want to set up a garden at their backyard.
it’s always great to see some butterflies in your garden.. it signifies that you have done a great job with your garden.. have a nice day.
