Speckled Wood

[Chipchopper]

I saw one of these hansom butterflies in my garden this morning, hopefully the first of many!

A lovely name for a handsome butterfly.

Such a lovely butterfly, Chip.....I have had a few more butterflies of late and discovered that they adore the little solar panels for my water feature pumps.....x

[Chipchopper]

Yes Tilly, and well camouflaged on the floor of a sunny woodland glade

Hi Gness, I didn't see your post before.

What do you think is attracting the butterflies to your solar panels, warming up maybe ?

Funny that .Read your post and did a search. Have seen them in my garden here in S Wales. Didn't know what they were.

[Tilly2]

Quite common butterflies are Speckled Wood.

The problem is remembering all the names.

I can only think it's the warmth, Chip.......but it's a great attraction...x

That was my first thoughts, Gness.
If you can also provide plants for nectar and food, it will be paradise for them.
Good luck.
