Avery common butterfly ,called the citrus butterfly as they lay their eggs on any citrus tree. The tree can have hundreds of caterpillars on it,Don't seem to worry the tree at all.

Utterly charming Pitta. I can just see the wing movement.

Having butterflies in the garden is joyful . I am adding new plants every year that attract butterflies.I have counted over 50 different species over the years I've lived here

I love butterflies Pitta. Though I think it is a wee bit unfair for you to over 50 different speices. Can you ask some of them to come to my garden.
