We have an Ivy-clad wall to one side of the garden, and Holly Blue butterflies have been with us for most of the past week. At one time we had three of them, which is more than I've ever seen together anywhere! They were all busy ovipositing on the Ivy flower buds, which the caterpillars will feed on after hatching.
