    Hi

    The point in setting up a garden to attract butterflies is when it happens it would be nice to recognise what type it is! I've tried with the attached but failed so far to work out what it is - I'm assuming it's quite common but as I'm learning I don't know what it is.

    Thanks in advance for any guidance :)

    regards
    Gavin.
