8.16.2020 // While we were having lunch at the summit of South Sister, some orange and black butterflies started to fly by. At first just a few that were barely noticeable, followed by what seemed like thousands of them. Some internet research explained why exactly these insects were hanging out at 10,000 feet. So the butterflies(California Tortoiseshells) are known to have periodic population explosions. The behavior of flying at high elevations is called hilltopping, believed to be involved in mate-seeking. By flying uphill to a hilltop, the butterflies can collectively boost the chances of finding a mate. Many butterfly species do this, but Tortoiseshells are most noticed because there are so many in peak years. Always awesome when you can notice natural phenomena like this! #SouthSister #ThreeSistersWilderness #Oregon #USA (at South Sister Summit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkrRFbJQ_v/?igshid=18963urmeuc5p
