2013
butterfly sightings
January
2013. Remarkably, 5 different species of butterfly were recorded in the UK on
January 1st, some in several locations according to Butterfly Conservation. There are always a few early
sightings, but we think it is very unusual to have 5 different species on
January 1st.
The
species and locations are:
A
Brimstone was spotted in Bedfordshire
Red
admirals were spotted in Hampshire Gloucester & Surrey
Painted
Lady were seen in Dorset, Isle of Wight and Sussex
Small
Tortoiseshell in Dorset and Sussex
Peacock
in Staffordshire and Sussex
If
you think you might have seen a first butterfly of the 2013, let Butterfly Conservation know.
