There don't seem to be as many butterflies of any kind around the last few
years. I've seen 1 red admiral this year and had my first ever sighting of a large skipper in my garden this week :) "Essjay001" wrote in message ...

Bye alice W in Glos If anybody has a plum tree in the garden, leave a few squashed plums on the ground and after a day or so their juice will have fermented. Any butterfly drinking the juice - and it seems to attract butterflies - is then so filled with Dutch courage that if one keeps still they will land on you if you wear something white. Regards Ron |

Very sadly, it seems so, I live in North DEvon, and have made my garden for butterflies, and general wildlife, I have been seeing fewer butterflies each year Gea |
