Britain's butterflies are little flying jewels, each with their own charm and character. Which one would make your day if it landed on your buddleia?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Red Admiral
With striking black, red and white wings, the Red Admiral is hard to miss in any British garden. A late-summer favourite that loves a windfall apple as much as we love a cider.

Peacock Butterfly
Those dramatic eye-spots aren't just for show β they startle predators into a hasty retreat. Spotting one basking on a sunny path feels properly magical.

Painted Lady
This globetrotter migrates thousands of miles from North Africa to grace our gardens each summer. Frequent flyer miles? She's racked up more than most of us.

Holly Blue
Often the first blue butterfly of the year, fluttering around holly and ivy like a tiny piece of falling sky. Blink and you'll miss it.

Small Tortoiseshell
Once a staple of every British garden, this orange beauty has had a rough few decades. Spotting one now feels like meeting an old friend.
