It's probably been about ten years ago now. We had a sugar beet variety test plot on my farm. This was before the ash trees all died. I went to look at the plot and there were thousands of monarchs covering the ash trees. It looked like the pictures you see of them in the amazon. The next day I got a call from the fellow who was doing the research at the plot. He asked me if I saw all the butterflies?  I told him I did. I'd never seen anything like it before or since. Was amazing.

bjrogg:
Zuma, not sure there's any connection. Just about the only trees that were growing in this particular location. Now there's nothing but blackberry bushes. The ash were all dead now and I took them down last winter. There on piles now for firewood. Man there was a lot of beautiful lumber wasted there.

Like is said, I've never seen it before or since. One of those things you never forget though.
