I thought it was about time for some wildlife pics after all this talk of food and eating and recipes!
Aren’t they so sweet? I discovered these teeny tiny caterpillars on my nasturtiums this evening – I don’t mind them chomping on the leaves as there are so many and I do so love butterflies in my garden.
I love how they all huddle together…
I especially like this picture, not only because of this rogue caterpillar who was brave enough to leave the huddle and explore the leaf, but also because you can just see three tiny yellow eggs clinging to the underside of the leaf – on the right in the picture.

im a gardener and i run my own company called habitat gardening. I planted nasturtiums so that i would encourage butterflies. try lilac or buddliain the garden for more butterflies and bees. just make sure to keep deadheading for a larger bloom next year, and it is advised to cut back quite hard in the winter as these can become out of control if left. Love your garden and the wildlife in it. Happy gardening….
