#TitliTuesday with Sunday's #butterflies in my and my neighbour's garden, fabulously fresh red admiral (4) and a cloud of small tortoiseshell at my neighbour's (5) plus a pair of large white. As the weather cools I savour seeing them even more. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire

#SaturdayMotivation 'Butterflies are nature's confetti' -Anon. Two beauties seen yesterday & recorded for bigbutterflycount.org, Small tortoiseshell & red admiral in my garden. Please spend 15 minutes helping #CitizenScience this weekend, the last two days of the count. @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Wishing you a bright and beautiful weekend, I make no secret of my love for #PeacockButterflies, from their tiger striped shoulders to their blue or lilac 'eyes'. Here's a few of my favourites shots from July. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #vitaminN #Lancashire

I follow this account for a daily dose of cute and fuzzy. It never disappoints. PS. I wants a Red Panda 😀 I would call it Dr. Fuzzypants

Overcast today which is just as well as I've walked too far & done too much gardening in the last few days! Here are my beautiful garden #butterflies this week; small tortoiseshell, large white, red admiral, meadow brown, small skipper & green veined white. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire

In my garden 😍

#SundayYellow A large white #buttefly feeding on cats-ear at #BrockholesNatureReserve on Wednesday. I enjoy trying to capture the yellow stripe at the top of the underwing in this species. You can just make our the crimped ended petals on the cats-ear. #bloomscrolling @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Phwoar! It's a #butterfly day! 🤩😍🎉🦋 One of a few fresh out of the box #comma looking magnificent, so bright and perfect, so good to quietly observe. 🧡 #Preston @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire #InsectWeek #vitaminN #joy

Described to us by a Swedish butterfly expert we also shared it with in the field as "the rarest butterfly in Sweden", we were delighted to find Arctic Ringlet (Erebia disa) today for our @mariposanature.bsky.social guests. Everyone understandably thrilled to see this ashy-winged beauty!

Such a wet #SaturdayMorning, so let's fill BlueSky with the beauty of #butterflies. Here's a perfect #PaintedLady on #NorthBerwick beach yesterday. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #EastLothian @naturescot.bsky.social
