BUTTERFLY AND FLOWERS in the garden

Papilio demoleus malayanus ((Lime Butterfly) is the name for butterfly in the first set of pictures. There is a lime tree nearby, for the moment without flowers. The butterfly is happy with periwinkle nectar, shifting from one flower to the next.

There was also a yellow butterfly that day,
 but it moved so fast and kept changing directions
 that it was almost impossible to snap.

    Lovely butterflies - we have very few at the moment as the weather has been very poor
