Lovely photo & yes it is a small tortoiseshell. I have only had one one my garden so far this year. It would indeed be a fiendish jigsaw to do, Amy.

Really pretty white petunias Sheila, especially of an evening, they shine bright don't they..:))
Like you I've tortoiseshells in my garden right now. The Peacocks and Admirals are nowhere to be seen...

Thanks Janey. Yes I love them in spite of the fact that they looked pink in the catalogue! There do seem to be fewer butterflies around this year - I wonder why π

To be honest Sheila, I've had lots in my garden, the peacocks and admirals earlier and now the tortoiseshells, and a little holly blue..:)) so have been very lucky..

Thatβs lovely ... Iβm happy for you π ! Come to think of it, there were some little blue ones in the spring, but not since.

I've had a nice patch of 5ft high nettles down the garden, they do like to lay their eggs on them!

This new garden has yet to see a nettle, but I do see their uses π
