I think I saw one of these in my garden a couple of days ago. We are finally getting some butterflies after all spring and early summer not having any. I think they must have been killed with the ice storm we had in April. At least that’s all I can figure out.
I’m so glad you are finally getting the butterflies! Remember that happened the year I was in NZ too. They didn’t show up til late summer. I wonder if it just goes in cycles?
my butterfly collection 
Photos are always breathtaking (especially the first one) <3
Ciao Sid
Thank you Sid!
