Butterflies in UK

Don’t suppose it could be a Green Veined White

Proud to say my grandson has helped in the development of our wildflower area and the raising and release of 5 painted lady butterflies through from caterpillar to adult into this new environment.. What’s more is that  I’ve been educated in the fact that many of these insects migrate to and from the UK as far as Africa each season. Other common butterflies here do likewise it seems. They hold no political boundaries and move to where habitats are most ‘welcoming’. Something us humans could learn from!

Might be something blown over in recent storm🤔 S & SE does appear to get a greater variety. I think Countryfile did a bit of an article about Dorset’s heathlands, and how very diverse they are. How you find out, will be interesting.

I took part in the Butterfly Conservation count and we did better than last year, the good weather in June must have helped in our locality. Good to see a Jersey Tiger Moth each year, so things seem quite successful.  Lots of Red Admirals as we have lots of nettles and plenty of little Holly Blues as we have a lot of Holly around.🦋
