He's beautiful! That caterpillar is also very striking. I'm curious about the bug hotel. Do you find it helpful to keep pests out of your garden? Or is it just a "nice to do"?Julia at Home on 129 Acreshttp://homeon129acres.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-5925664209947754562015-10-18T20:00:49.718+01:002015-10-18T20:00:49.718+01:00I have several ideas running around in my head for...I have several ideas running around in my head for bug and bee hotels that I want to set up in the hilltop area.

My resident robin has just returned to my garden after the summer away, I'm not sure where he goes to inbetween but I know that winter's on its way when I see him again towards the end of the year.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-52434721592444500412015-10-18T12:16:53.098+01:002015-10-18T12:16:53.098+01:00I love it!I love it!Vesna Marichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265502263728106716noreply@blogger.com
