We got loads of bees, butterflies, hoverflies and other insects on the buddleias and hebes in our garden on Scilly. Also Hummingbird Hawk Moths but it was often a fruitless task chasing them around to try and get a decent image. This small tortoiseshell butterfly was very engaging and helpful, sitting on the hebe flower while I took its photo. That row of brilliant blue dots along the edges of its wings came out really well in this image. Archive from August 2008.
