Lovely photo Paul. The closer you get the more detail you pick up and for their short life it is incredible how they change from a caterpillar, to this wonderful, colourful butterfly that is so different. The caterpillar that eats foliage, changing to a flying butterfly that sucks nectar....amazing.

Wonderful picture Bathgate. The butterflies in your garden certainly like this pink flower.

One of the mysteries of this world Linda - how a caterpillar changes into a totally different creature, yet they still remember their lives as a caterpillar - knowing which plants are important and knowing when it's time to fly to Mexico. How do they know about Mexico?

Thorneyside - Zinnias are known magnets for pollinators.

Thanks Julia - just being in the right place at the right time.
