A few years ago I saw one near this spot, but never saw another! This visit we saw 5!! although this was the only one to land and it was up in the tall brambles for forgive the photos, best I've ever gotten though.
The next day I went back to get better shots, and counted 16!!!! but not one landed :( Still good news for this butterfly this year I think.

I have to say that my other half and I have both noticed in our areas we frequent, a serious lack of butterflies this year, at least of this sort which over winter as pupa and don't hibernate. We had such a rally last year down south especially of the second brood small butterflies. Brede High Wood is usually a wash with all species, hardly seen more than 3 or 4 in all our trips this year.

Anyone else seeing this?

Easily one of the most beautiful caterpillars we have, I think.

You can see why predators stay clear, this seems 'hard to swallow'!!
