Painted lady butterflies flutter through the county
–The painted lady butterflies’ migration north has reached San Luis Obispo County, according to a report by the Tribune.
Last week, streams of the fluttering butterflies were spotted moving through North County, and sightings near Arroyo Grande, Nipomo, Santa Margarita and Atascadero have also been reported on social media.
The insects, which look similar to monarch butterflies, are in the middle of their normal migration from Mexico to the Pacific Northwest, according to Curbed Los Angeles.
