Pacific Grove Butterlies. Sketch #5
Olga Perry
pencil sketch
Every year, over 25,000 Monarchs overwinter in Pacific Grove. Arriving in October, the Monarch Butterflies cluster together on the pines and eucalyptus trees. Historically, most of the western population of Monarchs settled in the fog-shrouded Monterey pine forest of Pacific Grove. These trees provide the microclimate that they need: proper humidity, light, shade, temperature, and protection from wind. En route, butterflies may travel as far as 2,000 miles, covering one hundred miles per day, and flying as high as 10,000 feet. A mighty achievement for such a seemingly fragile beautiful creature! And I have the pleasure to meet them once a year in George Washington Park near my studio :O)
