Butterflies

[poliphilo]

Last year the buddleia swarmed with red admirals and peacocks and tortoiseshells; this year I'm seeing hardly any of the more colourful butterflies around it- just flies and bees.

A fair little selection hereabouts, I'm pleased to say, though I haven't spent much time at all with them photographically. Probably no exotic species, though I barely know any anyway.

They remain quite enchanting to watch, fluttering from one spot to another, in that chaotic, yet meaningful, fashion. And then come the occasional attempts at securing a mate, wherein two perform that dance around each other..
