[Leica] IMG: First Butterfly of 2021

[Douglas Barry]

Congrats, Jim. Many happy hours await of trying to catch them stationary 
await. We've had various butterflies flitting through our garden for the 
last few weeks, but as we don't have a Buddleia, they don't pause for 
long. By the time I race in on my bad knees for a camera, they're gone.
We won't be planting a Buddleia as my wife thinks it's an invasive 
garden thug, so it looks like my Rhopalocera encounters will remain 
evanescent.

BTW that Skipper seems to have left a donation on that leaf
