So great to see the recovery in the butterfly populations locally, after a warm, dry spring & summer. Multiple red admirals, commas & whites on the buddleia today. This is a green-veined white

Purple Hairstreak (Favonius quercus).
I was lucky enough to be able to watch this butterfly close-up for about half an hour, as it went from flower to flower.

Was harvesting nettle leaves from my garden. I always check the undersides and found these bright green eggs. Not sure if they are Peacock or Tortoiseshell butterfly. Can anyone ID these for me, please? #ukinsects #nature #ukbutterflies
