several butterflies enjoying newly opened flowers on peach and plumtrees– I hope they will make up for the lack of bees– I expect a bumper crop as a result

It was sitting on a book, Very battered, Its wings were all ripped and seemed to have not formed properly and it had a broken leg, but very alive.

Butterflies everywhere– enjoying plum flowers, Magnolia,Blackwood acacia,bottlebrush ,agonis and tree lucen. There seems to be 4 or5 in each tree and more fluttering around.Obviously more than half a dozen have survived our awful weather.
