[Judith Johnson]

Fantastic! We have no bees or butterflies here at the moment. Maybe it's too cold?

@busylady thanks so much… I googled temperatures for butterflies and it said 80F-100 F with a minimum of 65F to fly… that translates to 18.3-37.7C… so maybe it is too cool for you… we’ve had temps in the mid 90s F lately. Another site said a minimum of 55F or 12.77C.
