I've been enjoying your wonderful galleries. The one on butterflies made me think I have not seen a butterfly this year in my backyard, despite an established Butterfly Bush and indigenous plants. A butterfly siting is relatively rare in this area; it's lovely to see the many species you have in your Gallery.
