This video from England says about itself:
August 21, 2013
Filmed in the front garden from our living room window in Watton, Norfolk. It is a Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly with a brief appearance of a Large White.
The butterfly-bush flowers, farthest from the road, are also mostly gone now.
Still, this morning, the remaining flowers attracted two small tortoiseshell butterflies.
And a small white.

Yes, they are! Insect species are more than half all living organism species.

Lovely video – started to investigate your You Tube links! I once produced a war veteran’s memoir for a lady who was based at Watton Naafi – called A Shy Girl’s War – if you’re interested the Watton museum may still have a copy.

Thanks for your comment! This is a beautiful butterfly species.
Are there any plans to put your video on the Internet?

Not a video – a written memoir; the BBC picked it up a few years ago and based part of a documetary on it – called Flight to Freedom it was shown in N Ireland, I believe.

And as far as you know, Flight to Freedom is not on the Internet?

Not as far as I know. It would have been archived some ago, now I think – time flies!
