Tea like creosote, blip of milk, no sugar please.
To be honest with you, I've not seen birds taking butterflies, only the caterpillars. Now I suppose they do eat the adults but I think we might have more of a problem if they bred here and the caterpillars caused havoc. Not sure really. I'd like one of our entomologists theories on this.
I suppose the food chain could be disrupted if a migrant species coped with our climate and started munching their way through green plants that should be munched by ours!
