It's a peacock. They are stunning.

Damn sight more interesting than the cabbage whites which destroyed my veg patch back in Sussex within a couple of days of hatching a huge swarm last year.

Is there not much to do because it is where all the people with heart conditions go ?

That’s not a peacock.
Peacocks are birds with big tails, that is definitely a butterfly.
Yeah, the ******s (or, rather, their caterpillars) destroyed the Brussel Sprouts I tried to grow last year. I won't bother again.

It's stunning, but can't believe you've not seen one of them before? Not having a dig, just genuinely thought them to be quite a common sight!

Not many butterflies this year in this neck of the woods even now the buddleia's out.........

The German word for butterfly is "schmetterling", also beautiful and one of the more pleasant sounding German words. Not at all gutteral.
The fields up this way are full of small bright orange butterflies no larger than a fingernail. I don't tend to see many others.

I get the occasional red admiral in my garden, but lots of painted ladies and little white butterflies which have spots, who tend to like my beech hedge.
I’ve got lots of hebes, and lavender plants so that attracts them, and the sedums to come in September.

I saw one one of those Haha butterflies the other day, on my lawn.
I didn't go that close to it, but suprised me by flipping over on it's side.
Very strange.

Are they 7 foot long with long claws and big teeth............. if so they are lions.
My family have always called them flutterbyes as I’m sure others do
