Lots in my garden Tony.

[tonyav]

Ah well, perhaps I just haven't noticed them, unless they are avoiding our garden as our cat does like trying to catch them.

[tonyav]

Although it could be regional I suppose.

More than since my childhood this year.

Haven't seen many butterflies but my house is full of moths every evening. I wish they'd go reside somewhere else.

[pixie373]

Loads of white ones, but that's all

[tonyav]

Yes Iv'e seen plenty of moths to, tigger.

Very scarce here in Dundee this year - at least in my garden. Lucky if I've seen a dozen all summer.

[Chipchopper]

Plenty of butterflies on my buddleia but sadly lacking in varieties, mostly peacocks, large whites and comma'. Not seen any brimstones or orange tips at all this year.

Loads of butterflies in our garden all summer.

It's hot-air balloons that I haven't seen this year.

[daffy654]

Dozens at a time in my garden. I do have 4 large buddleia bushes though.

Chipchopper - I haven't seen any orange tips this year either, first year that I can remember, but I have seen brimstones.
