After P1b released their butterfly’s, it was nice to see they stick around to enjoy the many flowers, bushes & trees in our school playground. Our pupils love the chance to enjoy them too 🦋💖 Keep Scotland Beautiful Butterfly Conservation 🦋 Jane Arthur Douglas Hutchison

New woodland, Wheeldon Copse has alder buckthorn and wildflower meadows. There were loads of brimstone butterflies out today. I finally got some shots when two males found a female and vied for her affection. What a beautiful sight!

This #MothMonday we're putting the spotlight on the striking Cinnabar (Tyria jacobaeae) 🤩

This common and well distributed day-flying moth is often mistaken for a butterfly because of its vibrant red and black markings.

I managed to film one of the migrated Painted Lady butterflies today and noted it was moving between its larval foodplant, Thistle.
On analysing my film later I see it laid an egg!
