    I have seen that many cabbage whites I think there must have been a hatching

    We've had a few tortoiseshell one's in the past couple of days and some cabbage one's.I'd almost give up on thinking we'd get any.
    We've also had some other unwanted vistors since our dahlias have opened.We have the biggest invasion of ear-wigs.I don't know where they've all come from but they're everywhere and eating everything.Any ideas to get rid of them.Thanks.

    He's a fantastic bloke and I think what he's doing is great. He was actually an entomologist before he got into farming so doing this butterfly house is something he's dreamed of for a long, long time! :D

    Oh wow, I loved that programme (still watch the repeats sometimes), OH and I are both dreamers and even when they were showing the worst problems we'd still tell each other we'd love to do that! And whenever we go to visit my family, we consider just staying on the A14 instead :o One day I'm sure we will

    We've had loads of really pretty ones lately ,,,,,,,,,don't know how long for though as our buddlehia (not sure I've spelt that right) hasn't lasted so long this year. It flowered really well, best ever in fact, but seems to be short lived and not so many flowers left now.
