02_200 In most parts of the country the butterfly season runs from March to November.

However, regardless of the time of year butterflies tend to be seen on sunny days; not on overcast ones.

The peak month is August when you can expect a number of butterflies in your garden every day provided that it's sunny.

Below are some examples of butterflies you can expect to visit in each month between March and November and to find out more about Butterflies visit our articles Butterflies in your Garden and Plants for Butterflies:
