The Great Banded Graylings are so impressive. I've seen up to 3 on my buddleias in the garden at the same time. They are quite curious as well, and they come and check me out (attack me ?) when I come into the garden.
Surprisingly the False Ilexes peaked chez moi a long time ago, and I only saw one in the scrub today. My records from last year show that next week (week 27) is their final week of the season here.CFB wrote: ... though perhaps False Ilex Hairstreaks are in even greater numbers ...
