Default Butterflies galore

Dozens of them this afternoon.

Red Admiral, Tortoiseshell, Peacocks by the dozen and others as yet
unidentified. Anybody else got loads today? They seem to love the Perennial
Wallflowers (Cheiranthus 'Bowles Mauve') more than anything and ignoring the
huge Buddleia.

Mike
Sunny South Coast Isle of Wight for reference.

Had one flutter in through the doors briefly today - but they've been
laying eggs on my washing line all summer. Every now and again I'd see
tons of them wriggling away and falling off.
