Bee butt.

Did you know the Bay Area is under siege right now? It's true. The invader? Thousands and thousands of pudy butterflies. Why, just today we received an urgent message from SFist Deborah N about hundreds of colorful, frolicking butterflies swarming up Lapu Lapu. We've also heard reports of butterfly sightings from the Sunnyside neighborhood to Crissy Field.

Holy smokes, this is the most harrowing thing we've ever reported. Allan Hough over at Mission Mission reports (via Inhabitat's Mike Chino) that bees have descended upon the Mission district. And they're out for blood! Check it:

Yesterday in Sacramento a flatbed truck carrying 8-to-12 million bees flipped over and released a swarm over the highway, effectively shutting down. The bees, heading over to Washington after being used in the San Joaquin Valley for crop pollination, stung "officers, firefighters, and tow truck drivers" who were assisting getting the roads cleared.
