Beautiful Butterflies 2018

Lol,they haven't called me Mummy yet TJ, just black looks cos they'd like to fly but will have to wait til tomorrow to be set free at Monkton NR!

Unreal markings, Wendy! So glad to see the pics! I am also fascinated with the shed caterpillar skins. Such a weird process they go through!

Me too CC, those heads casually tossed aside! Lol

Thanks Nige, not too bad here, your rain never reached us!

Spoke too soon, it's here now!!

Great to see the beautiful Peacock butterfly Wendy and all that TLC of your's paying off;  hope the weather brings sunshine for the release at Monkton NR.    Well done again.

Thanks aitch, beautiful warm sunny day here, just right for release, they still have large flowering Buddleias at MNR!

Sounds good Wendy,  we've had sun here too but now overcast;  about to go out and cut the grass, do a bit of tidying and plant some Cyclamen !  

Whilst I was feeding sugar water to the two in the butterfly house & trying to get some footage ......... a third one eclosed in the other pot grrrrrrrrr!

Very nice Wendy, its amazing what can come out of something that can look ugly and end up as beautiful as this.

I seem to remember an advert about Pandas & Kit-kat that sounds like that Wendy! Just don't get up for a comfort break (as they call it now).
