Those pesky butterflies seem to be getting everywhere.
I took the liberty of trying to enhance John F-S’s midair photo, but you can see the original below:

Thank you Saskia for these photos and the following:
Hasn’t it been a fantastic year for butterflies? I still have tens of Small Tortoiseshells, some Peacocks, a Red Admiral, a Brimstone and a Painted Lady (I hope I’ve got their names correct!) feeding on the Valerian and Buddleia , whilst others are sunning themselves in the late Autumn sun. The only one that I haven’t seen this year is the spectacular Humming-bird Hawkmoth.
What visiting butterflies have you seen in your garden recently? (I’m a complete novice so only recognise the very colourful species!)
Saskia T
More photos of any other species taken locally are most welcome. (Fiona, if your verbena is still so busy, that might make a great shot.)

Following his bumble bee photos, David G has further immersed himself in the garden safari experience (click on each photo to enlarge): (more…)

Definitely a case of ‘making honey, while the sun shines‘. Thank you David G for these various bumble bee photos, I had not realised there are so many different types. Do look at the later photos too.
