It's not likely to cause a problem on an established shrub, unless it's suffering from stress in some way. Do you feel your buddleia might be under stress? They're usually pretty tough and can cope with most problems that nature throws at them. If you can encourage some birds in to eat them - hang a feeder in the branches - they will soon hoover them up as well.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well I wouldn't say that it was under stress as it seems to be growning like it does every year, I'll have to give the bird feeders a go, thank you for the help and advice.
