It’s cloudy today, not cold just cloudy and there has been a short shower of rain.
But no butterflies.
A few days ago we went for a walk.
(Melanargia galathea, Marbled white)
There were butterflies everywhere.
(Melanargia galathea, Marbled white)
Just to prove what I am saying, I’ll show you a photograph of two at one time.
( Colias crocea, Common clouded yellow)
There were yellow ones.
(Pieris brassicae, Large white)
White ones.
(Aricia agestis, Brown Argus)
Brown ones.
The wild scabious was very popular with them.
(Azuritis reducta, Southern white admiral)
It was the same in the garden.
(Inachis io, Peacock)
The Peacock butterflies were abundant.
But not today. Where do butterflies go when they don’t fancy taking a turn out to sip some nectar?
The bees I understand, they stay in their hives or nests if the weather is bad. But the bees are still active today, if somewhat subdued compared to a sunny day.
Do butterflies suffer from depression if it is not sunny?
