According to reports earlier this year (
Watch out for the painted ladies) we are likely to have a bumper year for these migrant butterflies. I hope that this will be the first of many visitors to my garden. My
Buddleja davidii are just coming into flower, so they will get a good welcome! The buddleja today were also attracting the first honey bees (
Apis mellifera) I have seen in the garden this year, as well as the usual white-tailed bumble bees (
Bombus lucorum) and many different types of hoverfly.
