A Bunch of Butterflies

Blipmate and I stopped at Washbourne Gardens on the way to Nelson today to see if we could spot the Monarch butterflies that TeeJay and Miffy have blipped before. It was a magical sight - they were hanging in clusters -  see the blip,  or spread up a branch as in the one in extra, warming their wings in the thin winter sun.

For all those who guessed I had entered drinking straws as my Tiny Tuesday Mystery Macro - you were correct and here they are in the second extra.
