My daily lepidopterological (is that a new word?) activities are truly picking up, as of yesterday.
#InMyGarden not one, not two, but three butterfly species visited me, and two of them gave me the stare: a Red Admiral and a Small White. The third one - a male Orange Tip - was too busy flitting about to look around.

Aurorafalter (Anthocharis cardamines) - war leider ein ziemlich zappeliges Exemplar.

Just when you think you’ve got the white butterflies sussed, they drop another on… 🤷‍♂️
