The first Long-tailed Blue butterfly reported in 2022 was spotted in a hotel near Bodmin on 1st August. Now is a good time to keep an eye out for this interesting migrant species! Follow our Facebook and Instagram for the whole story! 🦋

It might be ONLY a Small Heath but it is the thirtieth species I have seen within the boundaries of the City of Portsmouth. Not a bad tally for the most densely populated city outside of inner London? ⁦Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust⁩ ⁦HantsIoW BC⁩ ⁦Portsmouth City Council

The Large Heath is one of the UK’s most endangered butterflies, and shifts in our climate are deteriorating its habitats and causing declines across its northern range. 🧵(1/4) 📷: Iain H Leach #SaveButterflies

Big. Blue. Beautiful. 💙 The Clifden Nonpareil (Catocala fraxini), whose name means ‘beyond compare’, is one of the largest and most spectacular moths to grace our shores. If you're lucky, you could spot one this month 👉 butrfli.es/2msfCRE #MothMonday #MothsMatter
