#FebruaryButterflyMonth

The Apollo is the butterfly of the day for @europebutterfly #FebruaryButterflyMonth. A fine finale for what has been an enjoyable month of butterflies! The Apollo can be seen on several of our European butterfly tours, such as this one, in the French Alps...

Today is Camberwell Beauty day for @europebutterfly #FebruaryButterflyMonth. We see them on several of our butterfly holidays, including La Brenne in France. If you’d like to see them get on a Greenwings trip this...

@bugboybaker writes of the "chevrons on the flanks of the Green Hairstreak caterpillar" in the latest issue of @savebutterflies Butterfly Magazine. So here's my contribution to @europebutterfly's #FebruaryButterflyMonth https://www.butterflylifecycles.com 😎🐛

The Green Hairstreak is the inspiration behind the Greenwings name, so we're delighted to see it featured today for @europebutterfly #FebruaryButterflyMonth. Photo by @MattDoogue. You can join him in Greece for macro photography - 1 place left!...

Always a joy to see this butterfly, the Two-tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius). @europebutterfly's Butterfly of the Day in
#FebruaryButterflyMonth. This photograph is from #Monfragüe National Park in #Extremadura, SW Spain, on the edge of this butterfly's distribution.

The Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus).
@europebutterfly's Butterfly of the Day for #FebruaryButterflyMonth. A regular garden visitor here in Oxfordshire, and pictured on Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), a real insect magnet!

A pair of Clouded Yellow butterflies (Colias croceus). Only about a week late for @europebutterfly's Butterfly of the Day. Oh well. 🙄

A very fresh Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus) from @BBOWT's Bernwood Meadows last May.
Today's butterfly for @europebutterfly's #FebruaryButterflyMonth.

Here's my contribution to #FebruaryButterflyMonth - Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) extreme closeups 😀 https://www.butterflylifecycles.com

Continuing with #FebruaryButterflyMonth, today it's the turn of the often under-appreciated Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina). Here's one from Bernwood last July.

A Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas) for @europebutterfly's #FebruaryButterflyMonth. Still a relatively common butterfly in SW Spain.

The Wall (Lasiommata megera) is today's #FebruaryButterflyMonth butterfly. Here's a photo of a rather uncooperative one from last summer in Gredos, Spain, nectaring at just over 1,520 metres (around 5000ft) above sea level. Higher than Ben Nevis, the highest point in the UK!

So apparently today it's the turn of the Marsh Fritillary in #FebruaryButterflyMonth. Here's one from #Extremadura, SW Spain last year.
Sadly lost from Oxfordshire, though @UpperThamesBC amongst many others are working on a reintroduction at #RSPB #Otmoor.
