Saw my first flutterby yesterday!



He looked ever so cold.

I saw a peacock butterfly today. I think it's the first butterfly I've seen this year.

They've been around here for a while now. This was in the garden on 17th April.

I hate these little bastards with a passion.



Unfortunately the only spray that kills them (Provado Ultimate Bug Killer) contains neonicotinoids and is probably going to be banned because it's bad for bees - although the real problem is the vast use of neonicotinoids in farming, not just on a few garden lilies.
