but on many other flowers.
I’m rather monotonous (I know), but this is the summer of butterflies!

1) scarse swallowtail on a liatris
2) clouded yellow on a zinnia
and, on wild flowers,
3) comma
4) wall brown
5) woodland grayling

This entry is about

wall brown (lasiommata megera)

comma (polygonia c-album)

scarce swallowtail (iphiclides podalirius)

clouded yellow (colias croceus)

    butterflies are not monotonous… I have written four journals on this matter!
    And there is still a butterfly I’d like to take a pic of: it’s a mourning cloak (nymphalis anthiopa), and it never stops flying! Oh, well…I’ve fully earned my “butterfly friendly” badge, I think ;-)

    If I was lucky enough to have that many varieties of butterfly in my garden I would be journaling and photographing too, monotonous – no way! What we do have this year is lots of bees of various species.

    Surely it’s impossible to have too many butterflies in your life!
