Butterfly Magnet - _TNY_1406

My mother-in-law planted the heartleaf oxeyes (Telekia speciosa) specifically to attract butterflies and boy, is it working. They not only pull the butterflies in, but also they are quite reluctant to abandom them, leading to me being able to get close with the camera.

 

Here it is a small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) which is refueling on one using that magnificent proboscis.
