Where have the Holly Blue's gone? Perhaps it was a bad year for predation 🦋

So many beautiful butterflies @stratbutterflyfarm.bsky.social, and there's not just butterflies that you can experience, there's soo much more! I love the Horsehead Grasshoppers and the crocodile.

This place gets better each time I visit 🦋

After reading the following article www.bbc.com/news/article... about the Southern White, in 2023 I had this unusual white Butterfly emerge in my Butterfly Farm with no markings, which was very unique! Maybe a one off? 🥚🐛🥐🦋

Had a great time @HertsZoo!
They have a UK Centre for Species Survival Trail which has bug hotels, lots of flowers for pollinators, bird & bat boxes. Great to catch up with @camwhitnall, Tyler & Aaron the #OZT bros

I took the photos of the animals

They’re Skippers, not sprinters, but they sure know how to wing it! 💨

So this little Comma Butterfly did not want to sit still for a photo 🤣 or a close up & wanted to get out into the wild to spread its wings.
It's the 1st to emerge of 2025 with a few more to go. All were laid on our Blackcurrent bush
