I love wildlife, we are now in a phase of human development where we are eroding our native wildlife to frighteningly low levels. Although there are moves to turn back the damage that pesticides and global-warming. One of the barometers of how well our wildlife is doing is the butterfly. If there is anything you can do to help these creatures thrive please do so, it is more important than many people realise. Without bees and butterflies plants don't pollinate.
