    Thanks Rolf.

    They apparently return to the same flowers each day at the same time. I went along a few days later to see and there it was on the same flowers same time of day.

    I went back today and low and behold at the dot of 11:45 suddenly the moth was there .

    I couldn't believe it. That is the third time I have been there at 11:45 (On purpose) so what the experts say is true.

    I know butterflies have a pattern. I watch them along the estuary. I know now if one flies past me it comes back about 10 minutes later. Not as erratic as one thinks I guess
