There are lots of Monarch butterflies in Tenerife

[imablue]

Monarch Butterflies apparently are in abundance here in Tenerife.
Well the caterpillars are on our back balcony .... A fusion (is that the collective name?)are at this moment crawling all over the place ..strange in a way really cos we have no plants on the back balcony yet have a garden to the front ..and there are no caterpillars in the front.
Go to here to see what they are like .......

An 'army' of caterpillars, or a flight or flutter of butterflies... Are the correct collective nouns, though I like 'fusion'. :)
