Four Clouded Yellows in my garden this afternoon, including a helice variety. I have never seen one of these before. Having never previously recorded so much as a single Clouded Yellow in my garden, I have counted six so far this year. A couple of Small Coppers made an appearance, alongside numerous Small Whites and a very good showing of Large Whites (20+), the latter having been mostly absent from these parts during the blisteringly hot weather. The verbena bonariensis is proving particularly popular with the visitors.
