From the "butterfly tree"

We have a buddleia growing by our balcony and the fine weather has had us taking meals there, fascinated by the wealth of butterflies the tree attracts.
Here is a picture of a peacock butterfly (paon - smaller version of the huge paon de nuit, emperor moths some of you have seen this year)
