      Lovely pics. Unfortunately I have only seen cabbage whites this year.

      Thanks strongylodon. Nice to be able to look up the details. I rarely see butterflies anymore, but they are all over my 2 buddleia bushes.

      After all that dull miserable weather, it's good to know they were just waiting patiently in the wings. Lovely bright colours in the piccies MJ,
