   My sister lives in downtown Montreal. When she phoned this evening she was eager to tell me about all the butterflies she has seen in the last week - more than in the whole summer.&#160; At least thirty or more in the last few days, mostly Painted Ladies, but also a few Monarchs or possibly Viceroys.

   Sounds like a widespread phenomenon.&#160; What&#39;s the cause?

      I estimated 500 Painted Lad*s (what&#39;s the correct plural?) at the Cape Split meadow (end of trail) around noon today. Asters were dripping with them. A few individuals of other species mixed in including 2 Red Admirals.

         Saw many today at Peggy&#39;s Cove. Did not attempt a count, but there were certainly dozens. One Monarch was also observed.

          Very common in the asters at our place on Wyman Road, south of Yarmouth,
          <br/> too.

          <br/> Not sure if there were any Americans in the mix.

            <br/> A friend also reported finding many Painted Ladies one day this past week
            <br/> along the River Rd in Gaspereau Valley. She said there were almost&#160; &#39;clouds&#39;
            <br/> of them everywhere.
            <br/> 
            <br/> Cheers,

            <br/> We had six Painted Ladys on one set of daisy-like flowers. Among them was an
            <br/> American Lady and later had a Red Admiral on Garlic flowers. At the BNS
            <br/> meeting a couple of naturalists reported seeing hundreds of Painted Ladys
            <br/> &#39;like leaves on the ground&#39; .
