The Large Blue Butterfly ....

Gorgeous photo Jacque. Thanks for sharing this with us . Let's hope they continue to thrive and multiply as they are exquisite.

Hi Grenville/Alan i hope so 2 :)

good one Jacque , I hate the thought of losing any of our wild life , big or small , the world would be a sad place without them , as gardeners we do our best to encourage butterflys etc. Lovely picture

The story behind it is as beautiful as the picture. Thank you for sharing.

Glad u enjoyed it Plays-in-dirt :)

Now how sad is that Man and his development plans ruins everything ....i wonder how we would feel if butterflies started knocking down our homes.....just another nutty thought lol

I don't think I've seen many buterflies this year, and the only ones I've seen are the white ones. Haven't seen a ladybird for years nor a hedgehog. It's really worrying. It's a beautiful photo Jacque.

It's a lovely butterfly Jacque. I wonder if it is around in other parts of Europe. We often see the small blue here in our gartden, but not the large blue.

I dont think its got far @present Chris? Seems lots of the UK have`nt the Rite Habitate for it 2 Fed/Breed :(

I'd love to see them - I don't know where it is in Somerset?? Can you go and have a look do you know, Jacque?

Check out the Web Page iv put above Spritz im sure ul find out more on Visiting ,Just type in "Large Blue Butterfly" in their Search Bar:)

I love to see the butterflies in my garden, sadly not so many these days, surely all this wet weather and lack of sunshine must also be having some effect on them?

Sadly, people only seem to care when these things are gone. I watched a program about China's wildlife the other day. It said about these turtles - there were only 3 left in the world. It said that after filming one of them died and the other two are in separate zoos - you'd think they would be keen to get them together to breed or get scientists involved to try and clone them or something? And then there's the Amercian Carrier Pigeon, the last ones of which were shot for sport in the full knowledge they were the very last ones. The Tazmanian Tiger, the last one died in a zoo and I believe the species was only given protection a few weeks before the last one died. When will people learn?

God Sarah dont it make u so Dame Bloody Angry that with all our Knowledge2day things like this are still Happening all over the World :/ its no wonder the planets in the state it is2day :( They know about all the Ice Melting &more Land appearing 2 &have left it 50yrs b4 saying/Doing anything :(
