Thanks to Bathgate, Annella, and Olive this is the first one we have seen in the garden..

Nope, none here either. We've only had Red Admirals and a very few cabbage Whites. Not even seen a peacock.

We had a lot of Painted Ladies a couple of months ago with a few Peacock butterflies, and now the Red Admirals are in abundance, also seen a Comma.

We have had all of the others but just no painted ladies. lol I cannot believe how many red admirals there has been, much more than usual in the garden, the weather must have suited them more than the others. If we get a mild winter again we are hoping for more of the same next year, it must help their population.
