Pleased you liked them D. I'll report back on Violet idc when outcome is more certain but thanks for that.
Glad you liked the butterfly M but another pupa on the way
No worries Wurzel - don't know how you keep up as well as you do
Cheers Paul - no Chalkhills on the site he came from so I had no doubt on that score but there are SSB and if I hadn't seen the egg being laid I would have wondered given the colours/markings showing at the pupa stage.
The gales here are bending the plants double and blowing away anything that isn't tied down but as I type I have a Large White fluttering helplessly round the flowers trying to find some refuge. Unlike the butterfly I haven't yet ventured out so just a quick update on the RA/Painted Lady/Comma
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
The Comma has now pupated but whether he will emerge in time to appear in this years diary remains to be seen.
One butterfly I would love to rear is the LTB so if anyone knows anyone who knows someone who may just have an egg-laying female in their garden please do get in touch
