I am certain butterflies have no sense of direction.
Sat in my sun lounge, door wide open, in flies a Peacock butterfly, it fluttered around a bit, before I could get to it started bashing itself against a window pane, looked in a panic, .The window was wide open just above where it fluttered. Stupid thing I thought & gently nudged it upwards with my pond net, it went out the window in a rush, not even saying thank you.
Carried on reading my book, then in through open door, a Red Admiral, that one flew at the window too but this time I was ready for it net in hand. Persuaded it to the door where the stupid thing landed on the shelf above with wings beating at the pane above door. I managed to get it out the door, still no thanks as it sped off across the garden.
Back to my book, in flew a wasp, must admit I cowered a bit, don’t trust wasps, that flew around the sun lounge a few times then whizzed past my ear & out the door. Next in was a bee, don’t mind those & by now had given up on the book. That also flew around a few times & out the door. A fly, large one, was the last in, that too flew around then out the door.
Now if those last three insects know exactly were they came in, why don’t butterflies. I now think butterflies have no sense of direction & not much sense either. No doubt when I’m not there to rescue them a few will get trapped again & there is a large house spider living somewhere in the sun lounge so they will probably & sadly have a nasty end.
My BH likes to take photos of insects,etc, day and night.
She is to desperate to get a picture of a Peacock butterfly.
I won’t mention that one actually came into your house. 
RS, YouTube has returned to the Dark Ages.
I’ve rescued several actually, they are the most common here. Plant a Buddleia & they will come. I no longer own a camera, it broke, but here’s one I took before.
I have never seen this variety, many others but not this one! Absolutely amazing in its colors.
Thanks for posting…love this little creature.
I have a small collection of butterfly pics, as I was looking for something to take pictures of with my then-new camera and there was a butterfly farm not too far away. The worst thing about taking pics of butterflys is they don’t sit still.
This one is a Chequered Swallowtail, or Papilio demoleus.
This is a black and white flyer dragonfly that landed in front of me on my walking path last year. He stayed still enough for me to grab picture. Almost seems to be in black and white. 
When I look, I see a man at the head of a white canoe rowing hard across rocky waters!
I have never seen one of those before. We don’t get them here in UK.
I went to a local butterfly farm & didn’t get a pic of one, You did well there.
