Butterfly And Caterpillar Corner

I visit this place yearly. And yes, they sit on your shoulders.

Today, there was a florescent/day glow/neon yellow butterfly patrolling my garden. Not on the list woo posted, but, by golly was it eye catching and *bright* !



Shame my camera wasn't to hand, but then, I doubt I would have been able to capture it because it fluttered so fast!

 

@"M"
Could be a Clouded Yellow, Pale Clouded Yellow or may be a Brimstone, but i go for the Clouded Yellow

 

*Go* where you like, Jiffster ... ... but, if you wish to narrow down the choices ... pop around for coffee and then you can make a positive ID
Bother! I suppose I'll have to look it up instead then .... I may be some time ....

 

Just your bog standard Red Admiral visiting the garden today, but welcome nevertheless. First I've seen this year

 

I would if you were closer

From internet pic's, was it like this, "M"

 

Drive, don't you? Sheesh! You offer the hand of friendship and get ...
.. spurned! Spurned I tell you!

Ok, well, maybe next time you are passing (but, could you please tie it in with when my yellow fellow is also passing )

Hmm, just how far away is that bonfire!?

 

About 150/200 miles, i could do in works time, but do you have room for a 45 footer a unit

 

Erm ... ... probably not ... but, there is a lay by on the A2 which may fit?
A2 any good?

 

Absolutely: well put!
Jiffster: is your 45 footer fluorescent lemon?

 

Had to let 2 of them out of the garage today

 

You had two 45 footers in you garage!!!?? Blimey - that is one humongous garage, Zigster!!!

 

as a bit of information: I have two butterfly bushes and a huge native plant called a joe Pye weed, it has a interesting flower, would not call it as pretty as a butterfly bush----BUT--that Joe Pye Weed has triple the butterflies on it every year more than the butterfly bush. So if you have limited space and want the butterflies to land in your garden, I would go with a Joe Pye Weed.
