There's a branch of garden design intended to attract butterflies. The techniques are odd. Low-tech, but very effective.
They are migrating ;)
We get them at the beaches along the east coast in the end of august, by the ton.

Looks like I accidently hit one, they like these flowers.
When I was taking that picture I actually scared many away, were buzzing around my head. I do not mind the bumblebees, but I have destroyed several wasp nests in the past. That was quite an adventure, home made protective clothing. it worked!
thanks.
