I can't help you specifically, but I do know there are an awful lot of butterflies about this year. It was like snow falling on the windscreen going through Karsiyaka village this morning. Conditions must have been spot on for them through the winter.

Our lantana hedge has been covered in hundreds of butterflies for days. Very beautiful sight. If you walk past it is like a halo all around you. Love it
