Pismo Beach Visitor Information Guide - Pismo Beach, California (866 words) |
 | The "Butterfly Trees" of Pismo Beach are one of our most beloved attractions From late October through February, thousands of colorful Monarch butterflies cluster in the limbs of Eucalyptus and Monterey Pines in the area, giving the appearance of yellow and orange leaves. |
| Monarch Butterflies begin to appear along the California Coast early in October, when the first chill of fall, and a decline in nectar signal the need to migrate to the south to escape the killing cold of northern winters. |
| The eggs are multi-faceted creamy, yellow spheres, the size of the head of a pin; they have been described as "priceless gems cut by a master craftsman." Within three or four days, depending on the temperature, the eggs turn a dark gray and very hungry larvae eat their way out of the casings. |
