HOLLY BLUE BUTTERFLY
My garden has a good population of Holly Blue butterflies.
Fact is, this species will feed on holly and ivy, and on plants such as euonymus, snowberry and bramble, of which I have a plentiful supply of.
These asters will quite happily set seed around the garden too.
A good food source for bees.

what lovely subtle colours in that butterfly! How nice to have several of them flying around!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! I very occasionally see Holly Blues, but not as yet on the plot. xx
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it was a moth. I wonder what the difference between them is.
ReplyDeleteCheerful post with a lovely picture.

Such a pretty butterfly. I have holly and Ivy but have yet to see a blue butterfly around them. x
ReplyDeletehow pretty.... we don't see many butterflies anymore it seems..... and, I've planted lots of the favourites....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely combination of flutterby and flower in your photo. It's gives off a gently peaceful feeling to me :)
