I don't currently live where there are lots of butterflies, at any time of year, but I do remember seeing lots of monarchs, as a child & how sad I felt learning of their diminished numbers. They're such beautiful creatures. It would be virtually impossible not to feel something, as you made your way through the swarm, just as it's virtually impossible to avoid the swarms during such a large migration. Thanks for posting such a moving piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040149132251029332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392034857491788011.post-22864492079453590012009-10-21T08:19:49.791-05:002009-10-21T08:19:49.791-05:00What a very cool analogy...

The butterfly didn't survive the experience. I admit, I found it terribly disturbing. I don't know why one butterfly bothered me so much when she could kill millions of ants and I wouldn't flinch, but it did. I'm sorry you have to drive through them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
