              Nothing to worry about, the caterpillars feed on a few garden plants such as Fuchsias, Dahlias and Lavender but normally Willow herb and Bedstraw. Adults feed on Honeysuckle and similar flowers.

                  I'm not seeing many honey bees, but more bumblebees than earlier.

                  I think the biggest problem with butterflies is the food plants for the caterpillars which are missing.
                  Flowers for the butterflies is helping but it's only part of the cycle.

                  I know stating the obvious. :biggrin:
