Day 205 - July 24th

Our garden seems to be void of plants that attract butterflies so I've eagerly been waiting for this Buddleia to flower. Lo and behold the Buddleia flowers and the butterflies appeared. :0) I always assume that these butterflies are Red Admirals but no! According to Lara's 'Usborne Spotter Guide to Urban Wildlife' it's a Painted Lady Butterfly. I live and learn.
