Description/Notes: 
Have observed 3-4 Painted Ladies at a time every day, the entire month of September with exception to Tuesday 9/24 (temp dropped: low was upper 50s/low 60s ;winds 10mph, gusts up to 20mph). Today was the most that I have obs at the same time; approximately 12-15 butterflies feeding in the back garden. They would then fly back & forth between the front and back garden. Some pairs appeared as though they were playing ‘chase’. First sighting of the day was approx 9am and has continued all morning.
