i love seeing different butterflies on my rambles.....

today spotted 2 types for 1st time this year...peacock...speckled wood
so was thinking 'what other varieties do i see?'

made a list starting with those i see the most frequently

meadow brown
small tortoiseshell
large white
speckled wood
peacock
red admiral
small white
orange tip
comma
common blue
brown angus
small copper

that's quite a few but not nearly as many flutter across the uk

which types do you see?

.............read that those awful nettles that i despise so much destroying wherever

possible..............are important in the eco system providing food for caterpillars
