Went re-wire the trap at lunchtime and the Walled Garden was "alive" with butterflies. Unfortunately for the folks with the raised beds, many of them were Large and Small Whites which were happily laying eggs all over their brassicas! Other butterflies included Small Tortoiseshell, Meadow Brown, Gatekeeper, Ringlet and Small Copper.
