I Say a Little Prayer for You

Today has been another day of low level activity. Well it really is too hot to go anywhere unless it's really necessary. Pip and Bruno left this evening, they have to get back for work tomorrow so they've left us to look after their lovely house - and the pool.

So, it's more insects for you. The first is a Praying Mantis which Marian noticed as she was watering the garden this evening (that's why it's all wet). The extra is another butterfly. It's a Scarce Swallowtail, I believe and again I had to identify it from Google. I thought at first it was a Zebra Swallowtail (seems to be a common mistake) but they're only found in America.
