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!)

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.)
