Thanks Malcolm, I obviously have the wrong one! Never mind, I'm happy that
it makes the bees happy.

Great picturs. Against all the odds, it appears to be a Comma ...

We have a large Buddleia which is flowering profusely, and which doesn't
appear to attract butterflies at all. Bees love it, but since it's
common
name is 'butterfly bush' - I am wondering why this is? Can anyone tell
me
please?

It's called the butterfly bush because butterflies love it! However,
there are many different kinds and some seem to have more nectar that
butterflies like than others. We've got two different ones and one is
much more popular with butterflies than the other, while bees use them
both.
