Re: August 2008
The first butterfly visited the Buddleia today, a Large White and that's it! A few passing Meadow Browns in recent days are the only other butterflies I've seen.

Re: Species attracted to Buddleia
Interesting thanks, don't know all the species that can be found in this area but maybe something unusual may pay a visit one day.

Species attracted to Buddleia
Hello, I've been wondering how many different species are attracted to Buddleias? we get the usual visiting ours: Small Tortoiseshells, Red Admirals, Peacocks, Commas, Painted Ladies etc. but I have seen photos and records of other species visiting that I have never seen.

Arnside Knott Weather
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what looks to be the best day for going to Arnside Knott this week weather wise? as I have a chance of going this week. Friday is the most likely day that I will be going although I could make it Thursday - Sunday.

Brimstones
Hi, can some tell me what is the best time and place to see Brimstones? as I have never seen them before, even though they are fairly common in places but obviously not in my area.
