Rain stopped, butterflies returned

After a full day of rain Friday, the butterflies returned to the gardens this morning depositing eggs and grabbing a drink from our blue porterweed. Have you ever wondered where they go when a storm is on its way? I know I have. I have read that they find the underside of leaves to hide, go into tall grasses, as well as find cracks in rocks and trees to weather the storm.
