New hope for the Wood White in Wales! 🎉

One of the rarest butterflies in the UK appears to be recolonising Wales decades after the last population died out.

It has been recorded at four sites in Powys this summer - including a female laying eggs.

This #WildflowerHour, let’s celebrate not just the plants but the powerful pollinators who help our wildflowers, food crops and ecosystems to thrive. They may be small but they have a mighty impact! 🦋🌸

We were sat quietly doing a #BigButterflyCount this morning, when a Silver-washed Fritillary flew in to the same flower head as a nectaring Comma. What happened next was dramatic... @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Congratulations to William Brame @landguardbirder.bsky.social for realising this was a different white butterfly. Now confirmed by @chrisvanswaay.bsky.social as a Southern Small White - the first seen in England. As it is a female let's hope it has been laying eggs. @matthewberry.bsky.social
