Butterflies, Moths & Other Insects

It is relatively easy to identify butterflies and we have recorded 20 species on the Wildlife Site. Nearly all of these butterflies are very common species. There is also a very large variety of moths, pollinators and other insects on the site. We do not have the expertise to recognize and record moths and other insects systematically but will mention a few that we see here.

Below are photographs of some butterflies and other insects taken on the Wildlife Site, many of butterflies seen in the hay meadows (Fields 1 and 2) and near to the public footpath (see Map).
