Fabulous peacock butterfly yesterday, he must have been safely tucked up from Storm Dave!
#TitliTuesday with a stunning peacock at #RHSHarlowCarr yesterday, Mr Wonderful's photo, too far away for me to capture on my phone camera, but close enough to enjoy watching. 🙂 @savebutterflies.bsky.social #butterflies #NorthYorkshire

Beautiful tropical butterflies from Stratford Butterfly House
#TitliTuesday from 31st March 2024 and another fabulous visit to #StratfordButterflyFarm, such a wonderful place with so many beautiful varieties, along with iguanas & mini beasts. Super place to go. #butterflies #vitaminN
Left hand side; two commas either side of a very playful peacock who kept landing a foot away from me, Right; a perfect peacock and a perfect small tortoiseshell
#TitliTuesday with the beautiful #butterflies I loved observing last Saturday. Comma, small tortoiseshell and my favourite peacock. All in very good order after waking up from their winter sleep. The top left comma was egg laying. 🐛 #Lancashire @savebutterflies.bsky.social #vitaminN

Feeding brimstone butterflies, top left is a male with the stronger green colour.
#TitliTuesday My last post of #Spring #butterflies to be seen in the UK. So far I've showcased comma, small tortoiseshell & peacock, today it's #brimstone, such wonderful camouflage as they look like fallen leaves, but in flight are a lime or buttery glow. @savebutterflies.bsky.social
Beautiful red admiral butterfly, with velvet black withs with red and white detail plus a tiny blue detail on the hind wing. Underwing shot too
#TitliTuesday Another of the #spring #butterflies to see in the UK. Red admiral didn't used to overwinter here as it was too cold, but now they do make it through. Part of the vanessid family, they have a shiny blue patch at the edge of the hind wing. From 2025 @savebutterflies.bsky.social

A peacock butterfly showing off it's defense..those eyes on the bottom of the wings are meant to make predators think of owls and are flashed to warn them away
#TitliTuesday Butterfly sightings further down the UK, and a dryer, sunnier week forecast from now here in #Lancashire, will a peacock be my 1st of 2026? This beauty from 26th September 2025. #butterflies @savebutterflies.bsky.social #vitaminN

Fabulous green hairstreak butterflies, such tiny creatures clearly very inquisitive and a fabulous colour with a shimmer I'm sunlight.
#TitliTuesday Blessed to have a green hairstreak land on me in 2022, delighted that the same thing happened in 2024! I put it down to using the Source Lavender & tea tree oil shower gel! Or sweaty hands 🤭 #Lancashire @savebutterflies.bsky.social
A male orange tip investigating spanish bluebells naturalised locally.
#TitliTuesday with one of my favourite photos of an orange tip #butterfly I took in April 2022. Shame he is enjoying spanish rather than native bluebells, but a lovely contrast with his glorious orange tips. Lovely seeing the camouflage underwing too. @savebutterflies.bsky.social #Lancashire
