Over crowding

I know, I know, you're all going to get sick of Monarch butterflies before the season ends. But I couldn't resist them. . . . . again.

I stopped in Richmond for groceries on my way home this morning. I hadn't had breakfast as I wanted to get home with plenty of time to get into work (lots to do with school starting back tomorrow), so I grabbed a coffee to go. Then I thought that it would be a good idea to go and spend half an hour communing with the butterflies while I drank it.

This wee group were sunning themselves in peace when an outsider came flying in and tried to land on top of one of them. It was funny to watch, both the lander and the landee got quite agitated, but for a moment they couldn't seem to get themselves separated. It was only for a moment, then the one on top, who'd disrupted the others, flew off and they instantly went back to basking in the morning sun.
