Today I took this photo of a small tortoiseshell butterfly. She landed on the patio outside the door while I was sitting at the table.
I was very pleased to see it because according to UK butterflies, the small tortoiseshell is declining in numbers. They like nettles and we have plenty of those around.
Isn’t she pretty!

That’s a beautiful picture Verona. How lovely that you have enough wild flowers and nettles to attract butterflies into your garden -that’s very important
