After last Thursday's rainfall, the island has witnessed the arrival of hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of orange butterflies.  Blown from tropical Africa by the winds which brought the rain, these fragile creatures are amazing insects.

I've finally, after a number of false starts, been able to copy all the posts re butterflies/milkweed etc into this new thread. I've left the originals in place in the Gardening thread to maintain the continuity there. I thought it would be easier to refer to these posts in their own thread.
Please feel free to start using this thread! Thanks, Tamara 29.04.2020
