The first hints of yellow are showing on my first sunflower, I’ve tried before but slugs and positioning have hampered my efforts. Not this time, two more appear to have made it, so it’s looking good 💛🌻

Comma butterfly
A first for me this year, getting a photo of a comma butterfly. Maybe I have seen them before, but thought they were something else with slightly damaged wings. Now I now they are a whole different type 🙂

Sawfly Larvae
They look like caterpillars but aren’t. I haven’t had any before in the garden so quite excited to see different things this year as the garden develops. I found them while still small and only a tiny section of redcurrant leaf missing, but it soon spiralled and they have stripped a small section. It doesn’t really show and hasn’t harmed the plant, so just let them be.

Hummingbird hawkmoth in the garden
A real treat to see one of these in my garden, a few times in one day, and actually saw one again this morning. The buddleia is doing a very good job this year, catering for plenty of bees, butterflies, moth, hoverflies, beetles and various other small insects. Got a few good pics and fottage of it flying around, but they aren’t easy!
