Why are we seeing so many butterflies in Ireland this year? Improved weather conditions this summer have led to butterfly populations recovering after the crash in numbers in 2024

A light green caterpillar with black spots down its sides is sitting on top of a deep pink stock flower. Its body is covered in fine white hairs, in which droplets of water are visible. Yes, ok, I didn't notice the caterpillars until *after* I watered the plants. They're the equivalent of teenage humans, so I'm sure they needed a shower anyway. 😄

While watering the garden I discovered a brood of large white caterpillars* eating stock plants. I'm sad for the plants but happy to be helping butterflies!

*as in, caterpillars of the large white butterfly. The caterpillars are actually green. 😄

My photo of a large white butterfly on some leaves.

I enjoyed seeing what I think is a large white butterfly. I'm happy to be told otherwise.

Large white butterfly warming up on a window ledge in East Lothian

This large white #butterfly was warming itself up on our window ledge today when the sun finally came out again. Quite a fine specimen … no doubt our veggie plot will get some attention from the caterpillars as usual

Looking forward to seeing these emerge in April. 🦋
