Hatching
	This Common Lime butterfly has just emerged from the pupa. We had about half a dozen pupae in our garden and every morning I got up earlier and earlier to try and film them emerging. This one came out at around 4am on a rainy morning just as I had gone in to get a cup of coffee. I never did get those pictures ....

Death of a butterfly
	butterflies are attracted to this lantana bush- but so are spiders which hide in the flowers waiting to grab butterflies that alight on them
