A Brimstone butterfly called in this afternoon.



It stopped to feed on the Buddleia by the wall of the back garden. This buddleia was a self-grown seedling found in the back garden a couple of years ago and transplanted to it's current location. It is popular with the butterflies this summer and had 4 Peacock butterflies feeding on the flowers this lunchtime.
A Comma butterfly and a Red Admiral butterfly were on other Buddleias today. There are lots of Gatekeepers on the Marjoram and Field Scabious, plus plenty of white butterflies too.

Just a few minutes later, I spotted a Brimstone butterfly on Buddleia Nanho Blue in the front garden.

Was it the same butterfly?
