An exquisite, tiny Damsel, seeking a suitable place to deposit her eggs....she is barely more than 1cm nose to tail, with body thinner than a dressmaker's pin...and, she can fly backwards with perfect precision!

A horde of these exquisite butterflies has arrived in the garden...I am not complaining, and nor are the Zinnias.
