#butterflies

A few butterflies from #bigbutterflycount in my corner of Suffolk. Amazing amount of Small Heath butterflies at Ilketshall St Andrew Common & an oasis of flowers on the edge of the marshes at Shipmeadow was providing a feast for a number of other butterflies. #butterflies @bc-suffolk.bsky.social

No means no. The sheer beauty of #butterflies can often hide that the males of several species are, simply put, #sexpests. This is true 4 #ChalkHillBlue & life of a female, when already mated, is a constant avoidance dance w amorous males. He gives up in the end. She rests. #newtimberhill

Came across 5 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies on the edge of the local marshland today at Shipmeadow. The only place that has an abundance of flowers still alive in our parched Suffolk landscape #butterflies @bc-suffolk.bsky.social

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail from our backyard this afternoon. They are a little harder for me to capture as they flit around quickly and seem to always be above me. #FlyDay #butterflies #ECK #photography

It was definitely a mega butterfly day on the South downs today but this one in all its tiny silver-spotted glory stole the show and my heart again. #silver-spottedskipper (Hesperia comma) 30-37mm wingspan) on #newtimberhill in #Sussex #butterflies in #chalkgrssland
