Gardening with Nature in mind
|
Opposite the entrance to St Mary’s church car park is a meadow backed by tall trees with a public footpath through the northern edge of it.
Sunday afternoon on 19th April the long grassy edge was inhabited by a pair of Orange Tip butterflies. The male is pictured here.
Orange Tip butterfly
Thurs 29th April 2010
I have seen a butterfly similar to this one this afternoon in Storrington, the one I saw seemed to have much more rounded wings.
It also had orange all the way round its wings, not just on the tips, and was a very vivid orange.
It was very small about 1.5 inches across its wings.
Have you any idea what is was?
Dorothy.
