Simon's Blog - Love Is Like A....

...well done if you said butterfly and nice to know I'm not the only Dolly Parton fan around!

So remember Di Goodson in Walmer and her mystery solid gold chrysalis.

Well thanks to Kayleigh in Reading who tweeted we to say that she thinks that one of these will come out of it.

A Red Admiral butterfly caught in a brilliant picture by Pete Coleman in Dover.

Although Sid in St Leonards-on-Sea reckons it will be one of these.

A Small Tortoiseshell just like the one Trevor Cridlan in Thame sent in.

So frankly we're none the wiser but it has reminded me that the Big Butterfly Count continues until August 9th. It'll only take up a quarter of an hour of your time and you can find all the details about how to take part here.

Meanwhile here are some more of the photos that have popped up in my meridianweather@itv.com inbox.

That’s a Peacock butterfly that’s clearly attracted to Helen Gasson’s buddleia in Pevensey.

And in another buddleia related incident Julius Pidduck in Walmer in Deal had a Painted Lady on his.

Although it seems the Comma butterfly prefers lavender if this picture that Nicky McQueen from Peacehaven took at a lavender farm in Chichester is anything to go by.

That's a gorgeous photo of a bee and a butterfly enjoying each others company on a dinner date in Romsey from Ben Cowdrey.

And this one is a Gatekeeper butterfly from Bill Hutchins in Sholing.

That's a confusingly named Common Blue that David Gillet spotted on the Basing View industrial estate in Basingstoke.

And finally from 11 year old Ethan Allen in Fair Oak near Eastleigh a Holly Blue.
