At the Botanical Garden yesterday I was thrilled to see an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly flitting around the flower beds. Although they are fairly common here they are very beautiful to watch.
This is not a very clear picture but it is, I think, a humming bird moth.
The bees were huge too.. This one is working his way along all the florets of a pineapple lily.
In the glasshouse was a summer 'live' exhibition of many types of exotic and very beautiful butterflies..
They were all very beautiful - and the most beautiful in the greenhouse were very elusive and impossible to capture.. but my favourite of all was still the native Swallowtail..
Beautiful butterflies! You wouldn't want to upset that bee....
