On our hikes during this spring, we've seen several butterflies, including the Pipevine Swallowtail, California Ringlet, Painted Lady, Veined White, Spring Azure, and Sara Orange Tip. But none of these match the size and wingspan of these unusual Bay-To-Breakers Butterflies, seen here in this San Francisco Chronicle Web site photo. Note that two "morphs" are depicted: The Giant Red, and the Giant Yellow. Both are usually omnivorous, although some individuals have been known to be Vegetarian, or even Vegan.
